"It’s one of the proudest moments of my life."
In the latest episode of The Apprentice 2025, Amber-Rose Badrudin and Anisa Khan got selected into The Final Five.
In other words, they made it to the penultimate stage of the competition and are just inches away from Lord Alan Sugar’s £250,000 investment.
The latest episode of The Apprentice was broadcast on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
The candidates were tasked with launching an environmentally conscious fashion brand and pitching them to major retailers.
Amber-Rose was on Team Parallel and the team ultimately won the task by selling 2,150 units.
Based on this, the 25-year-old convenience store owner automatically progressed to The Final Five.
Meanwhile, Anisa was on the losing team. However, she had been praised in the process for consistently putting herself forward for leadership positions.
When Lord Sugar asked Anisa why she shouldn’t be fired, the 26-year-old replied:
“There’s a reason I’m still here. In each task, I’ve been a key contributor. I’ve not been the failure of the task.
“I have always shown resilience, I’ve always shown I’m adaptable and I have always given it my best.”
Eventually, Mia Collins and Liam Snellin were fired from The Apprentice.
Anisa was visibly emotional after securing a place in The Final Five. Baroness Karren Brady quipped:
“I’d be crying as well if I was facing Claude [Littner], Anisa.”
Joining Anisa and Amber-Rose in The Final Five are Chisola Chitambala, Dean Franklin, and Jordan Dargan.
Speaking about appearing in The Final Five, Anisa Khan said:
“I thought he was going to fire me because obviously at that point that was my eighth loss and compared to everyone else, I had the most losses.
“So even though I felt confident, for example, in Task Ten, I actually thought I did well as an individual because I had the highest sales, and I kept level-headed and I contributed.
“But then he was talking about the overall performance within the series and then I was scared that my losses would be the reason why I don’t get any further.
“So, when he finally said that I’d got to The Final Five a tear did come out!
“I remember Amber-Rose and Chisola burst out crying. I was really happy with them.”
Meanwhile, Amber-Rose said: “It’s one of the proudest moments of my life, to be honest.
“I had kind of set a goal going into the process that I really wanted to make the interview stage, and I was laser-focused on getting there.”
When the candidates for the series were announced, Amber-Rose Badrudin said:
“Being a part of this process has been a life-long dream and is a wonderful opportunity to show other young girls with similar beginnings that they can also achieve anything they set their hearts on.
“I am bringing Lord Sugar a business plan that already has a waiting customer base.
“There has never been a business plan like mine before where I get daily messages asking for our bubble tea to make a comeback.
“If Lord Sugar doesn’t invest in me, he would quite literally be leaving money on the table!”
Anisa Khan explained: “I hope to prove that I am a strong businesswoman with sharp acumen, capable of scaling a business and thriving in any challenge—whether in the kitchen or the boardroom.
“I’m ready to tackle every task head-on and show I have what it takes to succeed.”
“I’m driven, ambitious, and determined to carve my own path.
“My business is small now but has immense potential, with a unique concept that’s already proven its appeal.
“With Lord Sugar’s support, I can turn it into a leading brand and deliver exceptional results.”
The Apprentice continues on Thursday, April 10, 2025, when The Final Five will face scrutinising interviews about their business plans.
