description: "You know what, are they both as bad as each other? I don't know."
encoded: Michelle Collins has spoken about the prospects of a true romance between Cindy Beale and Max Branning (Jake Wood) in EastEnders. The BBC One soap has positioned Cindy as one of multiple potential brides for Max in the recent New Year's Day 2026 flash-forward episode set in 2027. This followed the pair having a passionate encounter as strangers on Christmas Day 2025, before their fling was explosively revealed during their shared grandson Jimmy Beale's christening. Cindy detests Max following his actions towards her children, with Max having slept with her daughter Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) and also being responsible for the death of her eldest son, Steven Beale (Aaron Sidwell). However, the pair recently found themselves as allies against their shared enemy, the scheming killer Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness). While attending The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, we asked Michelle Collins about Cindy's complicated relationship with Max, and simply had to question: are they a match made in heaven or in hell? Michelle answered: "You know what, are they both as bad as each other? I don't know. I would like to think Cindy has a bit more of a heart than Max does, but I think they're interesting together. I think they're interesting together because I think Cindy needs somebody kind of like him, rather than, possibly, someone, a bit more like Ian." Despite this, Collins didn't give their potential future romance much of a long life expectancy. "I can't imagine it lasting forever," suggested Collins, "but I can imagine it being kind of a bumpy ride and quite exciting, kind of up and down, 'Will they/won't they?' kind of thing, you know, absolutely." View Green Video on the source website Of course, Cindy has never had a quiet love life - from her adulterous affairs with Simon (Nick Berry) and David Wicks (Michael French), to her recent affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), despite being in a relationship with Ian again and being in love with Junior's dad, …

encoded: Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) has issued a serious threat in EastEnders – mess with older sister Vicki (Alice Haig), and you mess with him! It comes after a particularly eventful week for Vicki, who became entwined in a love triangle on the eve of step-son Joel's (Max Murray) trial for grievous bodily harm, voyeurism, and producing and distributing indecent images of a child. She was separated from his father Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) for months, fearing that even if Joel was imprisoned, their lives would never be the same again as he'd always be a part of it. During that time, sparks began to fly with Zack Hudson (James Farrar), though the two stopped themselves from pursuing anything further after being caught kissing by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth). Ross was determined to get his relationship back on track, and after much persuasion, Vicki agreed to take things slowly. However, needing someone's shoulder to cry on, she turned back to Zack and the two slept together. She was left guilt-ridden and reaffirmed her love for Ross after the trial. This prompted him to get down on one knee and propose this week, but before Vicki could give her answer, she decided it was high time she confessed to her infidelity.

In today's episode, a distraught and humiliated Ross demanded answers, wanting to know who she'd been with and whether he knew him. Vicki lied through her teeth, saying that it was a one-night stand and that she didn't even find out his name. This confused Ross, who said that he struggled to believe she'd become intimate with a complete stranger. After storming out, he sought advice from Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) and Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) at The Vic. Meanwhile, Mark cornered Vicki …

description: The Riot Women cast joked about what's to come in season 2.
encoded: It was confirmed late last year that BBC's Riot Women would be returning for more episodes, with the Sally Wainwright drama clearly striking a chord with audiences everywhere for its exploration of the power of music and also, female friendship. While we'll just have to wait and see what the new season will bring, the Riot Women cast did stop by the Radio Times Covers Party 2026 and teased what's to come. Underlining the fact that the Happy Valley creator will return to helm the series, Amelia Bullmore said: "Sally's going to write it." "Sally's going to have her own band in it, that's what I think," Rosalie Craig also offered. Tamsin Greig, who stars as Holly Gaskell, also joked: "Hopefully, some of us are in it." Bullmore went on to map out the second season according to her, saying: "This is what I think, right? I think there's gonna be some good times, some bad times, I think there's gonna be some obstacles, there's gonna be some gigs ..." Greig added: "And there's gonna be a crafty midpoint that nobody's going to see coming." Bullmore then continued: "A very, very crushingly low point and then some sort of unequivocal resolution. "And then a very peculiar sex act," Greig concluded. You can watch the video for yourself below. View Green Video on the source website While we'll take what the Riot Women have to say with a considerable amount of salt, it's clear that the leading cast are all pumped for what's to come. On the announcement of the second season, Sally Wainwright said in a statement: "Oh, this is where the fun really starts!" "We've all been so deeply moved by the huge, overwhelming, joyous, emotional response to series one, and now we're able to take the Riot Women extravaganza onto the next level!" said the show's creator, writer, lead director and executive producer. "We hope you’ll all join us on the series two rollercoaster!" Read more: Taskmaster's Alex Horne teases new series with intriguing format change: "We've got something up our sleeve" Harr…

encoded: It's another busy week ahead in EastEnders, as Jake Moon (Joel Beckett) stages a comeback after 17 months. He surprises Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) with a prison visit, and before long, the family hope that his relationship with Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) is the key to getting her to confess to Anthony Trueman's (Nicholas Bailey) murder. Of course, as we know, it was actually Zoe and Anthony's daughter Jasmine Fisher (Indeyana Donaldson-Holness) who was responsible. Meanwhile, Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) strike up a potentially dangerous friendship amid health fears for Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury), and there are concerns for Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown). Elsewhere, Bea Pollard (Ronnie Ancona) continues to ruffle feathers, and there's a shock kiss between Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Max Branning (Jake Wood). Here's a look at everything happening in Albert Square between Monday 9 and Thursday 12 February. 5 EastEnders spoilers for next week 1. Jake Moon attempts to lure Chrissie Watts back to Walford Zoe is taken aback when she receives a visitor request – it's none other than Jake, who is desperate to learn what happened to Anthony at Christmas and whether Chrissie was involved. He reveals that they split over her revenge plot against Zoe, and is shocked to learn the severity of her actions. With too much water under the bridge, Jake decides to walk away from Chrissie for good, but Zoe begs him to help her prove that she didn't kill Anthony. He refuses, prompting Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) to try to track him down. He catches them raking through his belongings, and is convinced to go and visit Alfie. As viewers will recall, the cousins almost came face-to-face in 2024, though Jake drove off before they could catch one another.

description: There's a long road ahead for Suki and Eve's journey together.
encoded: Actress Balvinder Sopal has confirmed that her current EastEnders storyline is set to be quite the long-running arc. The BBC One soap has seen the complicated matriarch Suki Panesar-Unwin (Sopal) pursuing an adoption with her wife and soulmate, Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace), as they hope to become parents together after a rather troubling attempt by Suki to get a child from her pregnant teenage step-granddaughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) last year. However, now heading down a much more ethical (and legal) route, it seems a rollercoaster lies ahead for the pairing known as 'Sukeve'. Speaking at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Balvinder was asked about the storyline and working with co-star Heather Peace for so long now. Balvinder said, "I mean, look, Heather and I have a brilliant relationship. We've worked together for, I think, three years now, three and a bit years. And each time, you know, we come on set, I think we find little moments that deepen the relationship between Suki and Eve, and that's really important, because I think sometimes relationships can get a bit boring or a bit samey, samey. So, we're trying to find the light and shade between the two of them, and what better way to do that than to throw in an adoption story? (laughs)." On what fans can expect from the coming months, Sopal added: "That's going to be a nice long arc, and we're going to delve quite deep, hopefully, into both of their backgrounds and lives, and just see the effects of what it means and what it takes to actually go ahead and adopt. We want to be as truthful as we possibly can. It's not easy. We know that. The team at EastEnders have done their background research, so you're in for a treat." Given we know very little about Suki's own family life growing up, could this be an opportunity to discover more about her upbringing?

description: Emilia Fox and David Caves return for the 28th season of the long-running forensic crime drama, but who joins them?
encoded: Silent Witness has returned to our screens for season 29 – and while it's largely business as usual, with the team investigating five complex cases, they've relocated to The Sir William Bowman Centre of Excellence in Birmingham. Plus, Nikki and Jack have also been adapting to change in their personal lives after tying the knot last season in a low-key ceremony, with Nikki eventually overcoming her doubts about marriage. "I don't think she was reticent about Jack at all," Emilia Fox told RadioTimes.com. "I think she was reticent about what marriage means – how one makes that commitment, and whether you do it with all the pomp and ceremony of a big wedding, or choose something more intimate. "So it was about stripping it back to what marriage meant to her and to them, and he understood that – and that gave us something to play." Fox also said that it was an interesting idea that, for Nikki, "she could explain the science of the body and every organ within it and its function, and yet you can't explain emotions". "And what a complex idea that is for scientists and how they deal with it," she added. "So this present series sees them settling into marriage and into a new life in Birmingham, and all that brings." Alongside Nikki and Jack, viewers can also expect to see Harriet and Kit back on the scene, as well as a string of new guest stars – which you can read all about below.

description: The Night Manager has had its Empire Strikes Back moment – but can Pine's return restore hope?
encoded: Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Night Manager season 2 Breath a sigh of relief that The Night Manager is returning for a third season on BBC One and iPlayer, because it is desperately needed after that harrowing season 2 finale. The belated sequel brought Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) back into undercover work, where he had an unwelcome reunion with old enemy Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie), who he'd long thought to be dead. Some discerning viewers sniffed out Laurie's secret return to the role before its reveal in episode 3, but others were shell-shocked by the revelation (as was the intended effect). Director Georgi Banks-Davies told RadioTimes.com that the team "tried really hard" to ensure the plot twist had a big impact, including during production, when the actor's presence on had to be kept under wraps. "Somehow we just got away with it," added Farr. "It was just a remarkable effort and it was fun! And Hugh really played the game chivalrously. He had to just completely disappear." After the season 2 ending saw Roper ascend once more, it's safe to assume that he'll be at the very centre of The Night Manager's third entry from the start. Here's what we know so far about the next chapter. The Night Manager season 3 release date speculation The Night Manager season 3 does not yet have a confirmed release date, but it is definitely on the way – and won't take as long as the second did to arrive! The BBC and its co-producer Prime Video ordered seasons 2 and 3 at the same time, freeing screenwriter David Farr to pen that devastating cliffhanger ending, safe in the knowledge that he would have a chance to resolve it later. And fortunately, there won't be another decade-long hiatus to endure. In an interview with RadioTimes.com, Farr assured viewers that "we're not going to have this whopping gap again" between seasons, meaning that "events will follow on" more directly in the third season. Still, given that scripts are still to be completed and its produ…

encoded: The floor has fallen from beneath Ross Marshall's (Alex Walkinshaw) feet in EastEnders, following a particularly scandalous bombshell from partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig). It's been a tough week for the couple, as their son Joel (Max Murray) faced trial for grievous bodily harm, voyeurism, and producing and distributing indecent images of a child. Vicki bravely spoke in court about the abhorrent assault he inflicted on her, but when he pleaded guilty, couldn't help but feel there was nothing to celebrate. A troubled young man was to be imprisoned, and it should never have happened. In The Vic, the residents were keen to toast her win, but all she wanted was to see Ross and move on with their future. A devastated Zack Hudson (James Farrar), who she had slept with earlier in the week, watched on as she chose her man. Of course, as viewers will recall, this wasn't the first time sparks had flown between the two - they were caught kissing by her aunt Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) last year.

Mark urged her to follow her heart, but she insisted Ross was the one for her. To make matters worse, he later discovered that Ross was planning to cement their rekindled relationship by proposing. Zack overheard the conversation, and went into self-destruct mode by swapping numbers with a girl at the pub. Vicki was hurt to see him moving on so quickly, and after a drink with…

description: Episodes are being released in both the UK and US in tandem, but when will new instalments be landing on our screens?
encoded: We are now at the halfway point of Industry's already explosive fourth season, with things once again taking an almighty turn for Sagar Radia's Rishi. While we all thought that Rishi had reached the worst day of his life so far in season 3, the character just continues to surprise with his personal and professional lives colliding in the most dramatic way possible. The end of that episode may have switched to Rishi, but the instalment sees some major strides being taken for Harper (Myha'la), as she closes in on Tender, intent on finding out more information about the payment processing company-turned-bank. So far this season, we've taken a jaunt to Austria, had some very complicated relationship dynamics unfolding between Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Henry (Kit Harington) and Tender employee Hayley (Kiernan Shipka), as well as the return of one controversial character. We've also dug more into Henry's life and his own complex past and struggles with addiction, with it only cementing the Game of Thrones alum as currently being at his career best. It's safe to say that the new series has taken a major step away from Pierpoint, a risky move for the financial drama but one that seems to be paying off as we venture further into conversations about politics and the current state of affairs. Thankfully, episodes of Industry are landing weekly and not as a boxset. This week sees a particular deviation from the usual schedule to account for the Super Bowl in the US, but that doesn't mean an early release for UK fans sadly. Read on for everything you need to know about the release schedule of Industry season 4, including how many episodes there are and where you can watch them in the UK and US. When is Industry season 4 episode 5 out in the UK and US? The fifth episode of Industry season 4 will air in the UK on Monday 9th February 2026 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Episodes of the new series are set to air weekly both in the UK and US, meaning that episodes will be released every Mon…

description: David Farr and Georgi Banks-Davies tell RadioTimes.com about that stunning finale.
encoded: **Warning: contains full spoilers for The Night Manager season 2 episode 6.** The Night Manager season 2 finale is a truly brutal watch that will change Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) forever. The suave spy has, up to now, seemed slick enough to worm his way out of anything, albeit not without some nasty cuts and bruises, but it would be an understatement to say that his luck has run out. When he left behind his quiet life in London, Pine was blissfully unaware that fallen nemesis Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) was still at large. But now, the worst man in the world has restored his position in the cruellest fashion imaginable. Screenwriter David Farr summarised: "Pine ends in a very dark place, because he genuinely thought 'I can get everything', which is the classic Pine. "You can call it arrogance, ambition, brilliance, but it is his flaw – and it can cause scorched earth. And it's happened again here." If you're feeling as sore as we are after that gut-wrenching hour of television, we hope you can find some solace in this exclusive chat with Farr and The Night Manager season 2 director Georgi Banks-Davies. The dynamic duo behind Pine's comeback delve into the key moments from the harrowing finale, including those jaw-dropping deaths, a surprising love story and a few hints at what's to come in The Night Manager season 3. The Night Manager season 2 ending explained: David Farr and Georgi Banks-Davies speak out Teddy's death will break hearts – but there's an upside Admirers of Diego Calva's sultry villain-turned-antihero Teddy Dos Santos will have been bracing themselves for this inevitability, but it still hits you like a ton of bricks. Despite all his wrongdoing, including some grisly murders, there remained a starkly visible soul to Teddy that desperately yearned to be rescued – and for a moment, it seemed that Pine might just manage it (more on that below). But alas, while he was able to turn Teddy against a father who never truly valued him, he couldn't protect…

While also showing us a shot of Joe Dempsie's new character, the trailer sees a Rachel facing a serious threat, as she tells Khadija on her news programme: "The question we asked ourselves a year ago has become even more urgent. How do we sort fact from fiction? How can we believe what we see?" You can watch the thrilling trailer right here now. View oEmbed on the source website The synopsis for season 3 teases: "It’s been 12 months since Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service’s clandestine video manipulation programme known as Correction. "Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, determined to regain the public’s trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system. "And then it happens: a brutal and exceptionally well-coordinated act of terror aimed right at the heart of the British establishment that leaves behind just one witness. "The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media. "The conspiracy reaches deep into the State, but just who is pulling the strings? Caught in an increasingly violent situation, and with few allies left to trust, what sacrifices will Carey be willing to make?" Other new stars joining the series alongside Dempsie include Kill…

Meanwhile, the Turners will be seen growing increasingly concerned for Christopher's well-being.

For instance, it has seen Sister Veronica realising she would like a child of her own and Cyril meet Rosalind's parents for the first time.

Speaking at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, the show's creator Heidi Thomas confirmed that season 15 "brings an end to an era". However, Thomas has also clarified that she isn't going anywhere anytime soon - even despite the near-constant offers she receives to write for the streamers. She said: "Why would I give it up for something that's a shot in the dark? I've always had things to say and I've always had brilliant people to say it for me, quite literally. This is my job of a lifetime – I've probably spent half my lifetime doing it – and that's not going to change."

description: Her latest novel is set to be released next month.
encoded: The Traitors season 4 pulled out all the stops, from new twists in the form of a secret Traitor to allowing the Faithful to ask the Traitors questions, hoping to unearth their identities. The latter twist involved Harriet Tyce, who was absolutely sure that Rachel Duffy was a Faithful, though due to a lack of evidence beyond a gut feeling, her fellow players weren't convinced. Despite revealing herself to be a Faithful after being banished, Harriet had been keeping a handful of secrets from her fellow players.... Not only did she hide that she was a former barrister, but also that she was a successful crime writer, who has published four gripping crime novels, with a fifth to be released next month. But could another story be on the way, perhaps inspired by her turn in The Traitors castle? The question was posed to Harriet at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, and there is hope yet! View Green Video on the source website "Maybe in time. The psychology of all of it fascinates me. I mean, I can't tell you how much the immersive experience, how different people react to that," Harriet told RadioTimes.com. "Whether you believe it [or] you don't believe it, it's real and I think that there's something in that. "But in terms of some sort of roundtable, picking them off one by one? No, that that won't be happening. But I think in a while maybe." Harriet certainly has her hands full with the release of her new book, Witch Trial, on Thursday 26th February. The synopsis for the story reads: "When 18-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in an Edinburgh park, the city reels - and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with her murder. "As social media explodes and headlines scream for justice, rumours of bullying spiral into something darker: whispers of rituals, obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong." It continues: "Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon, is reluctantly called for jury duty on the case. But as the tri…

encoded: The Traitors kicked the new year off in spectacular fashion, not just for launching yet another stellar new series but also for the introduction of a twist that certainly paid off. The launch episode, which has already been watched by over 12.1 million viewers and continues to grow, saw Claudia Winkleman introduce a secret Traitor. This new role meant that one player had more power than ever in the game, with their identity being a secret from the other Traitors and viewers tuning in at home. This was until Hugo was banished from the castle and the secret Traitor made their debut in the turret. And that secret Traitor was none other than Fiona! Fiona has since gone down as a rather iconic character in The Traitors and she has lifted the lid on the very moment Winkleman gave her the red cloak... View Green Video on the source website Speaking exclusively at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Fiona shared that the moment she was chosen was "absolutely magical". "All the endorphins and nerve endings in my body just exploded," she told RadioTimes.com. "And I didn't know what to expect what my role was going to be. But I just had enormous fun and that's how I played the game." Fiona made quite her mark in the castle after an outburst led to her declaring war on her fellow Traitors, as she told the group she believed that Rachel was a Traitor, after thinking Rachel had lied about a piece of information Amanda had told her in confidence. Though this ultimately backfired, as the castle all sided with Rachel and were sure that Fiona was a Traitor. As a result, she was banished from the castle and the Faithful subsequently got rid of a conspiring Traitor. But that hasn't dimmed the light on her time on the show, as Fiona said: "It's been wonderful. People have been so generous and kind, and it's been a pleasure when they've come up and asked for selfies, and it's just joyous." The Traitors season 1-4 are available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.

description: An epic rematch all comes down to these fateful final moves – who will come out on top?
encoded: The Night Manager season 2 airs its nail-biting finale this weekend, with an exclusive first look clip finding Teddy (Diego Calva) in the lion's den as he plots against his formidable father, Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Over the past five weeks, we've seen Teddy's loyalties gradually shift as his father's disdain became apparent, thanks to the work of undercover agent, Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston). Another factor at play is the surprising romance between the two men, which has given Teddy a compelling additional motive to defect – but will this betrayal go undetected? The heat is on, as shown by this suspenseful clip for RadioTimes.com readers, which sees Teddy brazenly make a phone call to Pine in front of his father's very eyes, under the pretence of contacting the conspiring Cabreras. Roper has been badly burned by Pine before, who he knows to be on his case again, so it's no surprise that he casts a suspicious glance at Teddy between sips of his morning coffee. The criminal businessman has everything riding on this latest deal, which will either restore his lavish position in the British establishment, or send him back into the hands of the Syrian militia who wish him dead. For now, Teddy seems to be getting away with his defection, but Pine isn't complacent. "Be careful," he implores, looking visibly anxious as they move their final pieces in this deadly game of chess. If the surprise return of Richard Roper provoked some scepticism at first, it does appear to have paid off in the end, with the bitter feud between himself and Pine resulting in some truly delicious drama. It seems increasingly likely that their personal war will spill over into the already confirmed third season, which has been thoroughly shrouded in secrecy thus far.

But it's not just workplace drama. Mervin is also excited to meet his half-brother Solomon, but it's not quite the introduction he hoped for or envisaged. "Well, I think phrases like ‘two peas in a pod’, do not apply. They couldn't be more opposite," said Gilet. "There’s Mervin and then there’s this guy who is on the opposite side of the tracks, potentially the opposite side of the law too. There's just something that Mervin can't quite put his finger on.

And this year was no different. After weeks of brutal banishments and shocking murders, Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy were crowned the winners and took home £47,875 each. As a result, Stephen has been the talk of the nation, whether it be about his striking outfit choices or his decision to remain faithful to his fellow Traitor.

"To go to Umrah, to go to Hajj, would be really nice. For me to do that for my family would be great. If there's a bit of left over, I wouldn't mind putting a bit away for a new car but treating my family is my main goal." Following the whirlwind of The Traitors, Umar Kamani, the CEO of PrettyLittleThing, shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), that he "would love to send Faraaz from Traitors and his family to Hajj".

"I came back and I was talking to my mum and I was like, I just can't... to Umar, I'm so grateful, Alhamdulillah, I was literally crying my eyes out honestly. I couldn't believe it." View Green Video on the source website While details on whether Faraaz and Umar are in touch are not known, the breakout Traitors star is keen to still make the pilgrimage. He told BBC News: "The love and support I've been getting is unbelievable... Inshallah, one day I'll be able to hopefully take them to Hajj or even complete Umrah. I'm looking forward to that."

description: "It feels savage!"
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for The Apprentice season 20** The Apprentice returned for a landmark 20th season on BBC One tonight and Lord Alan Sugar certainly didn't hold back. From introducing 20 candidates to sending them to Hong Kong for their very first buying challenge, the business hopefuls were thrown into the deep down – and only 18 remained in the running to become his next business partner. After returning from their first task, like always Lord Sugar asked the project manager and sub team project manager to bring back two people from their team they believed were at fault, before revealing that two people were going to be fired from the process. Unfortunately for Nikki Jetha and Georgina Newton, their time in the process came to a fast end, and over on BBC Two, audiences will be able to hear all about their journey on the show and their thoughts about their firings, as they speak to Angela Scanlon, the host of The Apprentice: Unfinished Business. Ahead of the new companion series launch, RadioTimes.com caught up with Scanlon who admitted that the double firing felt "savage". "They're all flown out to Hong Kong, it's like this big, amazing start to the series, they haven't even gotten to the house and unpacked their bags," Scanlon said. "So I think it's a tough one and I don't think anyone saw it coming. "When Nikki got the got the boot and then he turned his eyes on Georgina! The politest woman in the history of the show, she's singing, she's the ultimate hype girl and so, I was gutted, really." Scanlon explained that Nikki has small children and was really determined to "make her mark early doors" and felt that due to her background as a mortgage broker she'd be "really good at negotiations". "[But] the challenge of finding all of these items in a very foreign city meant that they didn't really get down to negotiation very much, because they were flapping looking for nine items," she continued. "So it felt like she had the skills, she just didn't really…

encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for The Apprentice season 20** The Apprentice returned in style tonight as viewers were introduced to a new cohort of candidates, 20 of whom are hoping to become Lord Alan Sugar's next business partner. Tonight's episode transported viewers to Hong Kong as the business hopefuls were sent on a mission to secure nine items at knock-down prices, all under the watchful eye of aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell. But 20 soon became 18 as Lord Sugar fired two candidates who weren't on their A-game in tonight's challenge. 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 It was a double firing no one was expecting as Lord Sugar told project manager Georgina she was fired. He said: "Georgina, I think you're your own worst enemy. You come in here, you bring two people in and you say they shouldn't be here. And so you leave me with nowhere to go, so Georgina, regretfully you're fired."` Nikki Jetha - Week 1 After plenty of back and forth in the boardroom between the project managers and those who were brought back to the boardroom, it was all down to Lord Sugar's decision. Addressing Nikki, Lord Sugar said: "Yes you put yourself forward as the project manager, very brave, but you were two hours late and you only got one item, and you were the overall project manager... And so it is with regret that you're fired." The Apprentice continues on Thursday 5th February at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

description: The broadcaster plans on getting "the real gossip" from the candidates.
encoded: The Apprentice is certainly shaking things up for its 20th season – not only are 20 candidates entering the process to celebrate the anniversary, but it will also be paired with a brand-new companion series, Unfinished Business. Earlier this year it was confirmed that Unfinished Business would air in place of You're Fired, with Tom Allen also announcing he was stepping down from hosting duties. The new spin-off show is hosted by broadcaster, podcaster and author Angela Scanlon who will be providing viewers with their fix of the latest boardroom drama, joining the host alongside an array of industry experts and celebrity fans. The series will also feature the first interviews with fired candidates each week. Together with the fired candidate, Scanlon and her panel will dissect all the drama from that week's task, providing fans with in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes intel. "There's an informality to it that I really love," Scanlon told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive chat. "People are so interested in what goes on behind the scenes [and it's] kind of loosely referencing [The Traitors] Uncloaked as a kind of model, but I love the opportunity to sit down with super fans and with business experts and with the candidates who have just been fired, and actually get the real gossip." Promising proper gossip, Scanlon added that she'll "shake down the fired candidate for the real story". She continued: "I have hosted a chat show before [Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything] and unfortunately, I'm quite unfiltered, and so I will ask the question that you want to ask at home and that you maybe think you shouldn't ask." Aside from the obvious changes to the You're Fired format, Scanlon adds that the companion series' "informality" is what sets it apart, telling RadioTimes.com: "It's almost like you've pulled away the fired candidates and [it's] as if we've just watched the show in the living room and then we've nipped out for a cup of tea to dissect it. So I think it's very fre…
