The Apprentice 2018 is over: Here’s who won, all the contestants and all the results.
The Apprentice Series 14 attracted applicants from a range of business sectors – from tax advisors to eco cleaning – who all had to adapt quickly to work as a team and avoid the boardroom firing.
As always, the budding entrepreneurs were put through their paces by business heavyweight Lord Sugar as the search for his next business partner took place.
Baroness Brady and Claude Littner resumed duties as Lord Sugar’s trusted advisors and his ‘eyes and ears’ on the tasks, reporting back on the candidates’ every decision in the boardroom.
Who won The Apprentice?
Camilla Ainsworth and Sian Gabbidon were the final two and they had to launch their businesses.
The pair then faced off in the boardroom with Lord Sugar one final time before the winner was declared.
After a tense final boardroom, Lord Sugar named Sian Gabbidon the winner of The Apprentice 2018.
Lord Sugar picked Sian to be his business partner. She will receive a £250,000 business investment and 50/50 partnership with the multi-millionaire business mogul.

The Apprentice 2018 spoilers
This year, the award-winning series will be bigger and better than ever, as Lord Sugar ups the ante right from the start and warns the candidates to “expect the unexpected”.
In Week 12, the final two took the lead as they pitched their big business ideas to Lord Sugar together with a brand, TV ad and poster advert.
Back in the boardroom, business proposals were picked apart by Lord Sugar before, after twelve tough weeks, he finally declared – “You’re Hired!”
The Apprentice airs on BBC One and will return in 2019.
