THE Apprentice viewers have ‘worked out’ the real reason that Lord Alan Sugar opted to keep controversial candidate Carlo in the show despite him making a major error.
The BBC show kicked off its brand new series last night with 18 contestants all vowing to win the £250,000 investment from the business titan.

But it quite quickly became clear that one candidate was standing out amongst the rest – and not necessarily for the right reasons.
Carlo, a hair transplant consultant, made sure his voice was heard as soon as he entered the boardroom and instantly began his pitch within seconds of meeting him.
However, it seemed that he got his words in a muddle from the off as he spoke about wanting to secure “0.0% of the market” in a glaring blunder.
Introducing himself on the show, Carlo said: “So, at the moment, I’m a hair transplant consultant, so essentially, I connect patients to reputable clinics around the world.”
Without taking a breath, he then continued: “The industry is currently 5 billion and is expected to go to 46 billion by the end of 2026 and Lord Sugar, if we capture a mere 0.0%, we’ll hit some very impressive numbers.”
As the other candidates took a glance at each other, Karren swiped in to cheekily quip: “He’s already doing his pitch!”
The girls then enjoyed a giggle at Carlo’s expense as he looked on solemn.
Later, as the gang headed to Austria for the first task of the series, Carlo continued to rub his fellow contestants up the wrong way.
As they tried to advertise a €200 bike tour in Austria, Carlo repeatedly targeted the wrong customers going against the advice of his team.
At one point, he even tried to sell the extraordinarily priced tours to a 98-year-old man despite the fact he would have great difficulty in getting on the bike.
But fans now think that Lord Sugar opted not to eliminate Carlo despite his controversial participation as a result of making good TV.
One fan suggested online: “The only reason Carlo is left in is because Sugar knows he’s so unlikeable he’s good TV.”
His targeting of elderly people continued to rile up his co-stars and fans of the show even had something to say, especially when he shut down any help or advice from his team members.
One fan said: “Carlo is coming across as very patronising.”
Another added: “We are going to have to cope with Carlo for 11 more weeks…”
A third went on to say: “Carlo is annoying already.”
Before a fourth penned: “Carlo is a champions league yapper.”
Carlo remained in the contest whilst Emma Rothwell was given the boot and became the first contestant to be axed.
THE Apprentice has been a fan favourite ever since it burst onto the box in 2005.
Here we take a look at five of the biggest moments over the years on the hit BBC One show.
Tim Campbell – Former London Underground transport manager Tim Campbell won the first series of the reality show in 2005. He is now one of Lord Sugar’s aides on the show.
Amy Anzel – Season 16’s fired candidate Amy Anzel was BANNED from the final celebration show, after a tit-for-tat exchange over Lord Sugar’s mocking tweets.
Michelle Dewberry – Telecoms consultant Michelle Dewberry won the second series of the show in 2006. However, after winning a six-figure job with Lord Sugar she lasted just four months before she sensationally quit.
Selena Waterman-Smith – We’re used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time – into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain.

While much of Eurosport’s programming will move to the paid TNT Sports channels, some will go to the free-to-air Quest channel.
The brands are all owned by Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) which announced the closure of Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 earlier this week.
As part of the move, Quest will air every MotoGP Sprint race.
The channel will also host a new weekly cycling show, as well as highlights of the Giro d’Italia and La Vuelta a España.
Meanwhile, WBD Sports Europe chief Scott Young has said “parts” of the Tour de France will be shown on Quest too.
The changes are set to come into effect on February 28, when Eurosport will close down.
While the long-running brand will disappear from screens in the UK, it will continue to exist in other European markets.
It’s not been confirmed exactly which sports will move to TNT but it’s believed favourites like tennis will shift.
To access TNT Sports channels you’ll either need to pay £30 extra on top of a Sky or Virgin subscription, or subscribe to Discovery+ Premium which costs £31.
Highlight packages would remain on terrestrial TV as the competition is classed as a listed event.
WBD Sports Europe chief Scott Young confirmed they are “looking” at Six Nations but said a deal will prove “very challenging”.
Quest can be found on Freeview channel 12, Sky channel 144 and Virgin channel 169.
You can also sign up for a free version of Discovery+ which allows you to stream Quest live.
Even more changes expected soon
Analysis by Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun
Broadcasting is going through an almighty shift at the moment with the push toward streaming at a key point.
Despite this latest move, Discovery+’s days are likely numbered.
The streaming service has closed in several countries already to make way for a replacement, Max, bringing HBO and Discovery content under one roof.
The UK is one of the few big markets where Max hasn’t launched yet because of existing agreements with Sky, allowing Sky Atlantic to air big HBO-made hits like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus.
But the pair recently announced a new deal that will pave the way for Max’s launch in the UK early 2026 as a standalone app, while Sky customers will get access at no extra cost.
So expect even bigger changes in the TV and streaming world next year.

AN elderly man was shot five times by a group of masked men who broke into his home last night.
Detectives are urging people to come forward with information following reports of a shooting in the Coleraine area of Derry.
Reports were made shortly after 7.50pm that a number of masked men had broken into the home of a man in his 70s.
The man, whose property was located in the Ballygallin Park area of the town, was assaulted during the incident.
He has since been taken to hospital for treatment.
It was discovered there that he had been shot five times in the arm and legs.
The man also sustained injuries to his head and torso.
PSNI officers confirmed that his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Detective Inspector Lavery said in a statement: “Shortly after 7.50pm, we received a report that a number of men, wearing balaclavas, had broken into a residential property in the Ballygallin Park area of the town and assaulted the resident, a man aged in his 70s.
“When the man was taken to hospital for treatment, it was established that he had been shot five times in the arm and legs.
“He had also sustained injuries to his head and torso.
“At this time, the injuries he received are thankfully not thought to be life-threatening.”
Lavery has condemned the assault, saying there is “no place” for such violence in Northern Irish society.
He then called for witnesses to come forward with any information, urging anyone with CCTV or other camera footage to bring it to their attention.
WITNESS APPEAL
Detective Inspector Lavery continued: “It’s absolutely appalling that an elderly person should be attacked in their own home in this way.
“There is no place in our society for vigilantism and we are fortunate that the outcome was not much more serious.
“Our enquiries are at an early stage and we would appeal for anyone with information in relation to this incident to contact us.
“If you saw or heard anything suspicious, or have CCTV or other footage which could assist our investigation, please call our detectives can be contacted on 101, quoting reference number 1450 of 30/01/25.”
Any witnesses can also submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.
