'Young Apprentice' return date confirmed by Lord Alan Sugar

Lord Alan Sugar has confirmed the return date for the new series of Young Apprentice.

Series three of the BBC One show will premiere on Thursday, November 1 at 8pm, Lord Sugar confirmed on his Twitter page.



Karren Brady and Nick Hewer will return as aides to the entrepreneur, reporting on the candidates as they progress through the process.

Zara Brownless was crowned winner of the last series. The 16-year-old won a £25,000 prize fund.

Back in August, Lord Sugar denied tabloid reports that he was considering axing the Young Apprentice format after failing to attract similar ratings to the original. A decision on further series has yet to be announced.
