The final episode of The Apprentice 2022 will air on BBC One tonight [Thursday, March 24] and crown its series 16 winner. It's been a long time coming after the programme was cancelled two years in a row due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The show's return has been a pretty eventful one with this year's candidates boarding a cruise ship in Portsmouth, negotiating fishy waters in Cornwall, and taking on an adventurous brief to boost Welsh tourism which saw Karren Brady and the contestants take on Europe's longest zip wire.

But what time is The Apprentice 2022 final and what does the winner get? Here's everything you need to know.
