The final of this year's series of the Apprentice is expected to draw an audience of several million when it is screened on BBC1 this evening.
The last episode of the popular reality TV show will see either Yasmina Siadatan, a 27-year-old restauranteur from London; or Kate Walsh, a licensing development manager who is also 27, handed a six-figure salary working for Sir Alan Sugar.
The programme was brought forward from its traditional slot on a Wednesday night to tonight because of a scheduling clash with the England v Andorra World Cup qualifier on June 10th.
And, as a result, it is expected to draw a huge share of the Sunday night audience with little competition in its one-hour slot at 21:00 BST.
Tonight's final task sees several former candidates who have previously been fired returning to assist the two project managers, Yasmina and Kate, as they attempt to create and launch a brand new box of chocolates.
Kate will be working with Debra Barr, who was the last candidate to be axed in the semi-final, and Ben Clarke, who is known for his balshy attitude and, of course, being awarded a scholarship to Sandhurst.
Interestingly, Yasmina enlists the help of Philip Taylor on her team - the candidate whose burgeoning relationship with Kate earlier in the show was a major contributing factor to his firing.
A one-hour special "You're Hired" programme, presented by Adrian Chiles, follows the final at 22:00 BST, when Sir Alan, both final candidates and their peers will all be interviewed to give their views on the result.
