The Apprentice series 18: Full list of London contestants taking part in BBC series

The Apprentice is returning to BBC next month for its eighteenth series, and fans have already got a first look at this year's lineup. Here are all the Londoners taking part in this year's upcoming show.

The 2024 series will see 18 candidates back in Lord Sugar's boardroom as they try to impress him to win the £250,000 investment. 

A total of five from the lineup actually hail from the capital, which is also where much of the business competition series is filmed.

Let's get to know The Apprentice Londoners a bit better.

Amina Khan

Hailing from Ilford, Amina is a pharmacist and business owner. Having practised as a qualified pharmacist for over a decade, Amina has gone on to helm a skincare and supplements business, which she claims made its first turnover of £1 million within two years of launching.

Flo Edwards

Recruitment Consultant Flo is another Londoner featuring in this year's Apprentice lineup. Talking ahead of the show, Flo, who has built her own consultancy, warned her fellow competitors not to "underestimate" her and that she is there "to win".

Onyeka Nweze

Onyeka is a chartered company secretary in the capital which is a role she thinks of as her biggest success in business so far. Featuring on The Apprentice, Onyeka hopes Lord Sugar will make his first tech investment on the show with her business.

Steve Darken

Management consultant Steve has worked with "some of the biggest companies in the world". Talking ahead of the show, Steve warned there is more to him than just his "suit and tie".

Tre Lowe

Garage fans may already know "music and wellness entrepreneur" Tre for featuring in the 90s electronic group Architechs.

While he's often credited as a "cool dude", Tre thinks of himself as more of a "super geek" eager to learn the inner workings of the world around him.

The Apprentice returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer from Thursday February 1 at 9pm.
