With their concepts in hand, half of each team went to develop their brand, while the others went to the appreciated Tileyard Studios to record their songs.

Three Lowe, a former competitor from last year’s series, was there to help create a hit, with some hopeful even try to sing the song itself.

But the episode failed to impress fans, which quickly expressed their views on X (earlier Chirp), with a viewer complaining: “This can only be the worst episode of #theapprentice that I have ever seen in my life,” reports The mirror.

Other viewers were left waving at the performances, with one saying: “Almost mocked my tea with that song,” while another was added: “Look at #theapprentice … I don’t think I’ve ever rolled so hard in my life my toes are permanently curled. ”

A third viewer felt for those involved: “Imagine that you have to sit in that boardroom and listen to these songs. I feel sorry for absolutely everyone involved in this task and the crew films it. So much collective embarrassment.”

RAP ACT failed to impress investors, who felt that its strong references to money would promote a large audience.

Lord Lord Sugar later decided to fire Aoibheann Walsh, with reference to his lack of participation in previous information.
