Who is Dr Jana Denzel? The Apprentice 2025 contestant and cosmetic dentist
Does Jana have what it takes to impress Lord Sugar?
**Warning: this article contains spoilers for an upcoming episode of The Apprentice.**
The Apprentice is back for its fourth task this week as the candidates prepare to show off their cooking skills to the public and corporate client.
Among the candidates taking part is Dr Jana Denzel – a cosmetic dentist with a successful Harley Street practice – who is ready to take his business to the next level.
Jana has recently found himself a talking point after The Sun reported he referred to someone as "coloured" during a task and subsequently left the process. However, it has been confirmed to RadioTimes.com this wasn't wholly the case.
A spokesperson for The Apprentice clarified that the comment made was "ill-informed" but not made with "ill-intent" and Jana's choice to leave the process was "completely unrelated" to the comment.
As Jana continues in the process another week, read on to learn more about The Apprentice candidate.

But why does he deserve Lord Sugar's investment instead of the 17 other candidates?
