THE Apprentice has reached its grand final, with just two candidates left vying for Lord Sugar's investment.

But one person no longer in the running is Anisa Topan who was brutally axed by Lord Sugar in week eight in a savage triple sacking.

Who is Anisa Topan and what's her background?

Anisa Topan is a 36-year-old PR Agency Owner from Surrey who, among other projects, has worked to promote lingerie brand Sian Goffman.

Currently, Anisa owns her own fashion PR consultancy and by her own admission, is all action – and says she gets irritated if people are slow to grasp concepts. She admits she can find it hard to listen and sometimes misses things when she is excited about an idea, but is good at "winning" in business.
She says: “I’ve got everything Lord Sugar needs in a business partner. I’m passionate, dynamic and persistent – he’ll love that."

The Sun has exclusively revealed that someone else loved Anisa's qualities on the show - 26-year-old fellow candidate and "ladies' man" Andrew Brady.

Despite the fact Anisa was engaged to be married at the time, Anisa slept with Andrew in the house during filming - flouting the show's sex ban.

She later married husband Tristan in September 2017.

What is The Apprentice?

The Apprentice is a hit BBC reality show, now in its thirteenth series, featuring hour-long episodes.

Each series of the programme aims to find a new apprentice for billionaire business mogul and Amstrad founder Lord Alan Sugar, who's worth £1.4bn.

It aims to recreate the toughest of business environments and tasks for its set of contestants, but it is often very funny due to the incompetence and arrogance of the competitors.

The show began in 2005 and has a US equivalent that kicked off in 2004, with Donald Trump in Lord Alan's equivalent role.

There are celebrity and junior versions of the UK show, too.
