This year's The Apprentice series is back with all the drama and competitiveness we wanted to kick the new series off. 

The third episode saw 13 candidates battle it out to win over Lord Alan Sugar and his aides, Baroness Karren Brady and first-ever The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell.

Shama Amin, from Bradford, made a dramatic exit due to health reasons before the third brief was given.

The candidates are in for a chance of winning prize of a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar. 

Last week, pharmacist Navid was fired by Lord Sugar.

What will happen in episode four?

In the fourth episode, airing Thursday, January 27, the candidates will be taken to the National Maritime Museum.

The team will be asked to create a fish dish to sell to the public. 

Half of each team will head down to Cornwall, while the others stay in London to sell their dish to the clients.  

They will need to impress the public selling their food at the market, and Lord Sugar's aides Karren and Tim. 

Who is on each team?

In week three, Lord Sugar mixed the teams up from boys and girls. 

Team Infinity included Sophie, Akshay, Kathryn, Amy and Stephanie. 

On Team Diverse was Francesca, Brittany, Nick, Aaron, Harpreet, Alex and Akeem.

The teams tend to be shaken up each week, so it is unlikely they will remain the same in week four.
