Who left The Apprentice this week? All the eliminated candidates from season 19

As ever, the candidates had to choose products, pitch for star items and take on presenting or gallery roles as the channel broadcasts live to the nation – all with the aim of making the most money.

For more than one unlucky candidate, their time in Lord Sugar's boardroom was over – but who was it? Read on to find out who left The Apprentice 2025 this week.

Who left The Apprentice 2025 this week?

Week 9 - Max England

In a change from the past two episodes, it was just one candidate who was fired in Week 9, and that was Max England – who failed to impress Lord Sugar enough to remain in the process.

Week 8 - Emma Street

All eyes turned to Mia Collins's team, where Lord Sugar made the decision to fire Emma for remaining fairly quiet throughout the process, something the business mogul was not keen on.

Speaking of her journey, Emma said: "I had a great experience in this process. Honestly I'm leaving with my head held high, I'm proud of where I got to."

Week 8 - Melica Moshiri

As Melica was brought back into the boardroom by project manager Amber-Rose Badrudin, the latter made a comment about Melica's disruptive behaviour – something that Lord Sugar was not keen on.

It was this disruption that caused Lord Sugar to fire her. As she headed home, Melica said: "I am disappointed. I feel that I did go too soon, I feel that Lord Sugar is making a big mistake."

Week 7 - Keir Shave

Keir Shave became the second person to be fired from Week 7 as Lord Sugar felt part of the failure of the task came down to the telemarketing company owner.

"I did have a bit of a bad feeling," Keir told RadioTimes.com about his firing. "Because it just felt a little bit unnatural that suddenly I was getting loads of questions.

"When I came back in, I was a little bit questioning things because it just suddenly felt like it had been turned on me, even though no one had mentioned my name throughout the whole boardroom."

Week 7 - Frederick Afrifa

After his team failed to secure any investments, Lord Sugar was quick to make his decision and fire Frederick.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Frederick doesn't think he should have been fired and said: "I would have liked to be in the bottom three to defend myself for a little bit longer because Lord Sugar isn't there during the task.

"So he actually doesn't really know what happened. He's trying to get the information from us, and when you're in the bottom three, that's another opportunity to spend time with him and explain what happened."

Week 6 - Jonny Heaver

After failing to impress Lord Sugar in the task, Jonny Heaver became the sixth candidate to be fired from The Apprentice 2025.

As he left the process, Jonny said: "Do you know what? [I'm] absolutely gutted. Lord Sugar, Tim, Baroness Brady are my absolute heroes and I would've loved them to see me as project manager, but I have had a fantastic experience. I leave with my head held high."

Week 5 - Dr Jana Denzel

As the candidates returned to the boardroom to find out the winners and losers of the task, Dr Jana made the announcement that he would be leaving the process.

In front of the other candidates and Lord Sugar, he admitted that he felt as though the other candidates wanted to remain in the competition far more than he did and thus, he opted to exit the series.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com about his decision to leave The Apprentice, Dr Jana said: "I was like even if I stay and [I] have to bring two people back in here because we lost at that point, I probably would have bought back Jonny or Emma because of their lack of contributions to it.

"Do I want it more than these two do? And I'm like, not really, I think they want it more than I do. So it's not fair for me to put those two into that position of the firing line. So I just decided to walk out on my own accord."

Week 4 - Nadia Suliaman

Nadia Suliaman became the fourth candidate to be fired from The Apprentice 2025 after her project manager skills didn't live up to what Lord Sugar would have liked.

In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com, Nadia reflected on the task and admitted she "genuinely thought bangers and mash was a good option," but given their pitch being a market stall, she sees that "it would have been way easier to sell potato skins".

Just under a year later, Nadia said: "I did make the wrong decision, for sure, definitely."

Week 3 - Carlo Brancati

Carlo Brancati became the third candidate to be fired in the race to become Lord Sugar's next business partner.

During the third task, the candidates descended upon Stratford-upon-Avon with nine hours to secure nine items. As ever, the team that spends the least amount of money on the correct items wins.

For Carlo's team, it was a trip to the Bridge Street Cafe and back to Lord Sugar's boardroom. As team leader Max England opted to bring Carlo back into the boardroom, Lord Sugar ultimately decided that Carlo's time in the series was up.

Week 2 – Aoibheann Walsh

Aoibheann Walsh became the second celebrity to be fired from The Apprentice 2025 after failing to impress Lord Sugar.

In the second episode, the candidates were tasked with creating a virtual pop star, recording a single and producing a music video before pitching their avatar to a flurry of brands for sponsorship.

However it was Aoibheann's team that failed the task, and with her decision to add AI to the voice of the avatar, a lot of criticism came Aoibheann's way.

And just like that, Aoibheann's time was up!

Week 1 - Emma Rothwell

Emma Rothwell became the first candidate to be fired from The Apprentice 2025.

Joining the sub-team on the forest experience, Emma and her fellow candidates were the ones selling the tickets for their tour, but only managed to sell a total of six. Emma wasn't able to sell one.

While scenes showed Emma attempting to make a sale, things just didn't go her way. Back in the boardroom, fingers were pointed in all directions, with one to Emma as one candidate noted she didn't make a sale.

In the end, it was with regret that Lord Sugar made the decision to fire Emma. After thanking him for the opportunity, Emma told the cameras that the business mogul had made a "big mistake" by firing her.
