The show is pre-recorded and some fans may be wondering where season 16 was filmed.
Where is The Apprentice 2022 filmed?
Boardroom
Scenes filmed in the "boardroom" are shot at a custom-built set at Black Island Studios.
The film set can be found in Central London.
The Studios website reads: "Black Island Studios is Central London’s largest film and television studio complex offering six stages, all with excellent facilities including drive-in access, cycs, lighting, camera and grip hire via our partners and on-site catering."
Taxi ride
The post-firing taxi ride is shot in London.
Also, despite the cab appearing to take the fired candidate home, the taxi driver actually takes them around the block to allow their exit interview to be filmed.
After this they are then taken to a local hotel to stay the night before being finally allowed to leave the show properly.

Cafe
The scenes which are filmed after a contestant has been "fired" are also shot in two London cafes.
The first, and less used cafe, is La Cabana 2 in Willesden, North-West London.
The second, which is more commonly associated with those famous moments of dread, is Bridge Cafe, in West Acton, West London.
The full address is Bridge Cafe, Westfields Rd, London W3 0AP.
It's owned by Frank and Gerry and is a far cry from the glitz and glamour of the City and Canary Wharf.
Portsmouth
Filming took place on board a luxury cruise ship in Portsmouth for one of the tasks on the 2022 series.
Viewers will see the contestants tasked with creating a TV advert onboard the vessel.
The synopsis for the episode reads: "The candidates are thrown in at the deep end as they set sail from Portsmouth on board a luxury cruise ship.
"Their task is to come up with marketing campaigns for a new cruise liner, including creating a brand and a television advert.
Wales
The new series of The Apprentice was also filmed in Wales.
The reports that crew were spotted in August 2021 at the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre in the Conwy Valley.
It's reported The Apprentice judge Karren Brady was understood to have been spotted by members of the public in the farm shop.
