The Apprentice UK will be returning to TV screens in 2024 for the shows 18th series.
The BBC confirmed the new series of the award-winning business show back in November (2023).

But The Apprentice will not start at the same time in 2024.
The show has been delayed, according to Planet Radio, to accommodate the new series of The Traitors which began on the BBC on Wednesday (January 3).
Planet Radio said: "Despite The Apprentice usually hitting our screens in early January, the 2024 series has been delayed by bosses to accommodate for the second series of reality show The Traitors.
It added: "It's now being reported that The Apprentice will land in February 2024."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
