Greer Riddell and James Van Hinsbergh are back recapping Series 20, Episode 3 of The Apprentice on BBC One with Lord Sugar. The candidates enter the competitive world of catering, tasked with creating a dish for the market and also pitching premium canapés to high-end clients. What could possibly go wrong?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• James gets completely stuck on his canapé concept and tries to recover it
• Greer’s unfiltered distaste for the egg and cranberry sauce combo
• James’ prediction update and some final predictions

Next week, the candidates swap catering for creativity in an advertising challenge. Will they produce marketing magic or another corporate catastrophe?
