The Junior Apprentice: Why Was It Cancelled?
In a shocking revelation, Lord Alan Sugar has finally broken his silence on the cancellation of the Junior Apprentice spin-off series. According to him, the “BBC made the wrong decision” when they decided to axe the show after three successful seasons.
Why the Junior Apprentice was Cancelled
The Junior Apprentice, which ran for three seasons, featured a group of young people competing against each other in a series of business-related challenges with the goal of winning a £25,000 investment from Lord Sugar himself. However, the show was abruptly cancelled by the BBC in 2012, much to the dismay of its loyal fanbase and its creator, Lord Sugar.

Speaking at The Apprentice press launch, Lord Sugar expressed his disappointment, stating that the cancellation of Junior Apprentice was a BBC decision.

Plans for the 20th Anniversary of The Apprentice
In an exciting announcement, Lord Sugar revealed that he has something special planned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Apprentice in 2026. While he expressed his hopes for another series, he emphasized that the decision ultimately lies with the BBC. Moreover, he teased that the 20th anniversary will be something truly exceptional, possibly including a royal guest.
