The Apprentice's all-female final saw artisan bakery boss Carina Lepore crowned the winner.
The south London businesswoman, 30, secured a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar, who told her across the boardroom: "You're hired."
She faced recruitment company owner Scarlett Allen-Horton, 32, after the pair were whittled down from 16 entrepreneurs.
It brings Lord Sugar's total investment over the years in The Apprentice candidates to £2,250,000.
And already, producers are on the hunt for the next boardroom candidates to feature in the 2020 series.
The application forms are now open, with an advert for the show reading: "If you think you've got the talent and confidence to impress Britain's toughest backer, the process starts here.
"We welcome applications from everyone.
"If you have a long-term health condition or impairment, we will ensure that any reasonable adjustments are considered in the application process and filming of the programme."
