The Apprentice (British TV series) series 17

The seventeenth series of British reality television series The Apprentice (UK) premiered on 5 January 2023 in the UK on BBC One. Karren Brady and Tim Campbell returned as Alan Sugar's aides, the latter of whom joined the show on a permanent basis, after stepping in for Claude Littner in the previous series. Littner also returned to the series but in a "reduced role" and only appeared in two episodes. Eighteen candidates competed in the series, the highest number of candidates since the thirteenth series. The first trailer for the series was released on 20 December 2022. The candidates were revealed on 3 January 2023, two days before the show's premiere.

The series is the first to feature two candidates leaving the competition of their own accord. Shannon Martin resigned before the results were revealed in Episode 2, while Reece Donnelly left at some point during Episode 6. This is the second consecutive series with only women present at the interviews stage, and the fourth consecutive series with two women in the final.

The series concluded on 23 March 2023, and it was announced that Marnie Swindells was the winner of Series 17, with Rochelle Anthony as the runner-up.
