One of those candidates is Keir Shave, who isn't the type to let a challenge slow him down, and who believes he deserves Lord Sugar's investment more than his fellow contestants.

During tonight's task, the candidates must create a dish, deliver a bespoke corporate order and sell to trade – all from tomatoes or potatoes.

Only time will tell how Keir will fare in this task, but in the meantime, read on for everything you need to know about Keir Shave ahead of his debut on The Apprentice.

Keir plans to set up a "complementary business to [his] main outsourced sales/telemarketing business".

He explained further: "An online tool that is designed to help sales staff at all levels throughout their sales conversations.

"The tool is designed to provide little but constant support in the form of a 'chat-bot' where the user can input their issue and the tool responds with ideas/tips around the sales objection."

Does Keir Shave have social media?

Yes! You can follow Keir on Instagram @keirshave, where he currently has over 1,000 followers.
