What will Lord Sugar make of this lot?

Sir Alan is back. But you've got to call him Lord this time. Nick Hewer is back. But sadly there's no Maggie Mountford to assist with eye-rolling, waspish one-liners and her Mr Whippy hair-do. And the cock-sure candidates are also back. Except, again there is a difference. This is Junior Apprentice, which means the hopefuls are aged between 16 to 17, have barely started shaving and probably think Skins is the best ever and only TV show worth watching.



However, don't let any of this put you off, because from what we've heard on the grapevine, this six-episode spinoff series promises to be just as compelling and shout-at-the-telly gloriously frustrating as the original. Take a look at the cheeky young scamps in the official snap above and see if you can spot a potential winner. Are they the saviours of UK business or just ten scallywags hoping to pull the wool over the eyes of Sugar, Hewer and Brady?!

Junior Apprentice starts on Wednesday night at 9pm on BBC One
