**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Apprentice season 20**

The Apprentice is back! Tonight’s episode introduced a fresh group of 20 hopeful candidates, all competing for the chance to become Lord Sugar’s next business partner.

I was completely captivated by tonight’s episode! It was amazing to see the candidates thrown into the bustling streets of Hong Kong, tasked with finding nine specific items for the lowest possible prices. And of course, Karren Brady and Tim Campbell were there, keeping a close watch on everything they did – it was brilliant!

Tonight’s challenge saw Lord Sugar eliminate two contestants after they failed to perform well, reducing the number of candidates to 18.

So, who was fired from The Apprentice 2026? Read on to find out more.

Who left The Apprentice 2026 this week?

Georgina Newton – Week 1

Everyone was surprised when Lord Sugar fired project manager Georgina in a shock double elimination.

Georgina, you’re sabotaging yourself. You repeatedly bring in people and then argue against their presence, which puts me in a difficult position. Unfortunately, this means I have to let you go.

Nikki Jetha – Week 1

After a lot of discussion among the project managers and returning candidates, Lord Sugar made the final decision.

Lord Sugar turned to Nikki and said, “You volunteered to lead the project, which was bold, but you were significantly delayed – two hours late – and only managed to secure one item. Considering you were in charge of the entire project, I regret to inform you that you’re fired.”
