Things are beginning to get intense on The Apprentice, with the latest series now in its fifth week. Rivalry among the contestants is rife and Lord Alan Sugar is being as ruthless as ever with his firings.

Alongside all the drama, there's been some huge wins on the show. In Thursday's (29 February) episode of The Apprentice, history is made as one team secures a record-breaking sponsorship deal worth millions of pounds.

In the Formula-E team challenge, contestants are tasked with launching a new Forumla-E team.They must then pitch their idea to companies in an attempt to secure sponsorship.

Questionable branding and unimpressive racing car designs throw some negotiations into chaos. But one team manage to nail their pitch and they manage to gain sponsorships worth a staggering amount of money - beating the previous record of £1.2 million on the 2015 series of The Apprentice in the electric bike task.The winning team's offer is the largest in the show's 18-year history, and understandably left Lord Sugar speechless.The businessman was initially convinced a mistake had been made after finding out about the sponsorship deal.
