The Apprentice returns for its fifth series with just 15 candidates. One candidate buckled under pressure and quit the competition, before even setting foot in the boardroom.
The missing man arrived at his London hotel for the start of the competition, but then decided to leave.
At the launch of the new series, Sir Alan explained to reporters that there was "nothing sinister" about the missing candidate's departure. The night before the competition started, "the candidate realised that, 'this is it. I'm away from my family and kids,' and I think the reality hit home, " and he decided to bail out.
Fifteen candidates remain in the running for the job of the next apprentice. "It makes my job easier," concludes Sir Alan.
