The Apprentice is back for another season and already fans are eager to see who could become Lord Sugar's next business partner.
Many people have clearly missed the reality TV show after its two year hiatus due to the covid pandemic and fans are also keen to know what's been going on behind the camera.
The BBC has addressed multiple behind the scene details, explaining that Lord Sugar's Boardroom isn't in fact his boardroom at all.
Apparently in order to fit 23 people around a table, plus all the cameras and crew, the series director needs to work from a gallery therefore it's not possible to film from Lord Sugar's real boardroom.
Karren Brady, an aide to Lord Sugar, also revealed there is a dry run of each task before the candidates get involve to ensure "you can go out and buy those items and how much you should be getting them for."
And it's been revealed that before the first task even begins, most people must film a 'fired' and 'hired' scene?
Another one of Lord Sugar's most trusted aides, who is currently recovering at home after an accident, said in a tweet that each candidate films their post-firing scene in advanced.
Claude Littner said: "All the firings are done before the show starts. They are wrapped up for 'continuity' not to show that the clothes are not those worn when fired."
So the next time you watch the episode, you'll start to notice that they have a scarf on so their clothes don't differ.
The BBC said that "for logistical filming purposes, the shots of the candidates entering their taxis are all filmed in advance of the candidates’ final boardrooms. However, their exit interviews in the taxi are filmed after they’ve each been fired."
But it doesn't just end here - each of the finalists get to record their winning scene.
According to the BBC themselves, "Lord Sugar decides the winner on the basis of the final task, the boardroom, and their overall performance throughout the series.
"He makes his decision on the day of the final boardroom meeting. As there is a gap between the shoot and transmission (to leave time for editing), measures are taken to ensure that the outcome is kept a secret for viewers prior to transmission.
"Two endings are filmed in order to ensure that the winner is not revealed in advance. Lord Sugar does not tell the production team and the finalists about the identity of his new business partner until the day before the transmission of the final programme."
