Since The Apprentice began 21 years ago, dozens and dozens of businnessmen and women have attempted -and largely failed- to impress the business tycoon Lord Alan Sugar.
Included in the TV hopefuls have of course been a few people from Lancashire.
Sadly in the upcoming series, none of the contestants hail from our Red Rose County so instead we thought we’d hark it back to some of those from previous series instead.
Take a look below at the nine Lancastrians to be contestants on The Apprentice, test yourself on how many you remember and find out how well they did...
We did interview the three most recent constants during their series too and you can find those chats here: series 19’s Emma, series 18’s Paul and series 16’s Aaron.
