Sugar - Will crown his Junior Apprentice tonight

Zoe Plummer, Tim Ankers, Kirsty Cleaver and Arjun Rajyag will face off in the final of 'Junior Apprentice' tonight.

The finalists will be asked to compete in a bottled water challenge, where they will have to come up with the name, product identity and a television advertisement before presenting their prototype to industry experts.

For the task, Kirsty will be paired up with Zoe, while Tim and Arjun will be working together. Previously fired candidates will also be returning to help them out on the night.

Arjun said: "Lord Sugar said to me that he didn't see me as much of a team leader and that I wasn't very decisive. I think I've manned up a bit now."

Zoe said: "I think one of the things that Lord Sugar picked up on is the fact that he thinks I can sometimes be too domineering. So I've taken that on board."

Kirsty said of the project: "It is really difficult because we're in a situation where there are two people in charge."

Last night, viewers saw Emma being fired after the teams pitched products by Dutch designers to UK retailers.

Speaking after her elimination from the show, she said: "Arjun is definitely the strongest candidate left."

"He has the amazing ability of being good at everything he puts his hand to. He isn't a one trick pony and is a great person to work with."

"Plus, I genuinely believe he deserves it. My money's on him."

The final of 'Junior Apprentice', which will see the champion earning a £25,000 business fund, will air tonight at 9pm on BBC1.
