television</a> series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)" title="The Apprentice (British TV series)">The Apprentice</a> (UK)</i> was broadcast in the UK on <a href="/wiki/BBC_One"

class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As with the previous series, the first task was conducted abroad, with the candidates travelling further afield than had been previously staged in the programme's history of business-related tasks held in other countries. In addition, the sister programme <i>The Apprentice - You're Fired</i> saw a change in the host before the series broadcast, with comedian <a href="/wiki/Tom_Allen_(comedian)" title="Tom Allen (comedian)">Tom Allen</a> overseeing interviews with candidates after their final appearance within this series.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alongside the standard twelve episodes, the series was preceded by the mini online episode "Meet the Candidates" on 24 September, with two specials aired alongside the series – "The Final Five" on 10 December, and "Why I Fired Them" on 18 December. </p><p>Sixteen candidates took part in the fifteenth series,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with <a href="/wiki/Carina_Lepore" title="Carina Lepore">Carina Lepore</a> becoming the overall winner.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 7.17 million viewers during its broadcast. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Series_overview">Series overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)_series_15&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Series overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Applications for the fifteenth series began in late November 2018, towards the end of the fourteenth series, with applicants assessed and interviewed by production staff between January and February 2019. Filming took place during Spring to early Summer that year, once the final line-up of sixteen participants had been finalised, with final editing completed before the programme's premiere episode was broadcast in mid-Autumn. The series maintained the changes to the format introduced in the previous series, though filming for the series involved travelling abroad to South Africa, the most distant place used for a production site in the programme's history. Both teams adopted names in the third task upon each having mixed genders, with the names Empower and Unison used for the rest of the contest. Of those who took part, Carina Lepore would become the eventual winner, going on to use her prize to set up an artisan bakehouse chain of retail units. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3
