The most recent person fired on The Apprentice (UK, Lord Sugar, early 2026 run) was a candidate named Tanmay , who became the fourth contestant eliminated after a task involving negotiating a corporate deal in a food‑related challenge.

Quick Scoop

  • Tanmay was fired after his team struggled in a negotiation task linked to a “chicken and egg”/corporate catering style brief.
  • As team performance was dissected in the boardroom, he was blamed for accepting a poor deal, which Lord Sugar saw as the key reason for the loss.
  • He later called the sacking “unfair and disappointing”, saying he “took the bullet in the boardroom” and arguing that another teammate, Megan, should have gone instead.

Recent firings context

To give a bit of current‑season context:

  • 3rd fired : Project manager Marcus Donkoh was previously let go after an “unusual” boardroom where he tried to change which teammates he brought back over a children’s book sales task; Lord Sugar then grilled all four men and ultimately fired Marcus.
  • 4th fired (latest) : Tanmay , who fronted the criticized negotiation, became the latest candidate to leave and has since spoken publicly about feeling he was unfairly blamed for the team’s failure.
