00:00Hello I'm Angela Scanlon and welcome to Unfinished Business where the boardroom
00:04may be closed but the buzz of the final is far from over as we have a winner!
00:09Yes we do! I've got the first exclusive with Karishma plus runner-up Pasha will
00:15also be here. Lord Sugar's trusted eyes and ears Tim Campbell and Baroness Brady
00:19join me to chat everything from pressure to pitches and I finally managed to pin
00:25down the busiest man in business. Lord Sugar sits down with me to reflect on
00:2920 years of The Apprentice and gives his unfiltered take on our final two.
00:34It's time for The Apprentice Unfinished Business.
00:40It's Tim and Karen everyone! Welcome! Okay 12 incredible tasks it has all come to an end.
00:49The 20th series there was lots riding on it, expectations. What are your standout moments?
00:56Well I think for me it's Hong Kong. I mean the boardroom there, the scenery, having Alan there
01:04was fantastic. I think it made, I mean the candidates really weren't expecting that. It was an interesting
01:12task because obviously a lot went wrong but the scenery was fantastic, the ambience was good and
01:18taking it to a new level I thought really made an impact in the opening episode.
01:23Wonderful. What about you Tim? Standout moments. Hong Kong was brilliant, it was as Karen has said, but for me
01:30I was really interested in the technological elements that we were bringing to the series. The PT one was really...
01:36Yeah, gamified fitness. I was really looking forward to that. And then we got bombarded with magical frogs. I don't
01:41remember where they came from so it was standout maybe for the wrong reasons right? So I love the fact
01:47that every single season Lord Sugar's keen to push on what is happening in the real world.
01:52And bring it into the series. Yeah. But the candidates sometimes keep bringing the same mistakes that they bring for
01:58some of the series where they have to learn as they do on the task.
02:01Yeah. Oh, so your stink eye doesn't change? No. I had to think what you were saying there, but yes.
02:07I love it. That's also as consistent as Lord Sugar. Lots of familiar faces from over the past 20 years
02:14joined for pitching stages. So we had Nick and we had Margaret, also had some previous winners, Dean and Ricky
02:20and Leah and Tom and Marnie. How was it having, you know, the alumni, so to speak, back in one
02:26room?
02:26Oh, it was great, wasn't it? I mean, the thing is, everybody gets on so well. And we're all friends.
02:33I've been on holiday with Alan. Claude has been there. Nick has been there. We've all been together. We're all
02:39good friends.
02:39Who picks up the cheque, do you mind me asking? Well, I couldn't possibly say that. We take it in
02:44turns. But it's Alan's boat. I should put it like that. He's yacht, I should say. The boat is underselling
02:53it somewhat.
02:54So, no, but everyone gets on well. We all have one thing in common, that we all want to see
02:59the show be a success. We all want to see it as a vehicle for people to get into business.
03:05So it's great.
03:05But, you know, I do think that kind of energy in the room and the support and that sense of,
03:10you know, a young person, Karishma in this case, starting out on their journey to know that actually you're kind
03:15of joining a little family, really.
03:17A little club. And it's great to see the candidates who are coming back and celebrating their fantastically successful business.
03:23Look at Dr. Leah and her brilliant company. You've got Tom, you've got Ricky Martin.
03:26So for those candidates at the final, to see what they could potentially walk in, I think it upped that
03:31level and they really delivered.
03:33It was the beginning of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, right?
03:36I know. You should trademark that. I should do this.
03:41So, normally at this stage of the show, Lord Sugar sends me a little voice note, OK? I've become very
03:46accustomed to them, but this time I caught up with him face to face to reflect on 20 years of
03:51The Apprentice. Let's have a look.
03:53Hello, Lord Sugar. Hello.
03:55Thank you for joining me today. 20 years in.
04:00Right.
04:01Did you think you'd get to this point on the show?
04:04Honestly speaking, no. Was it 2005 or something like that or 2004 was when we recorded the first one and
04:12I thought, well, it's been great, exciting, interesting, but never ever thought it would run on this long.
04:19Yeah. We've got a picture of you from 2005.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Not much has changed. Quite a handsome fellow. I didn't realise that. You're right, though.
04:27I didn't realise that. I mean, the finger's the same, isn't it, really?
04:30It's that stay the same. The hairline is pretty good.
04:32Yeah, that's true. It's true.
04:34What's the secret?
04:35I don't know, really. I do a lot of exercise, I suppose, and running businesses.
04:42Keeps you fresh. It feels like there's been a change in that, initially, you were looking for an apprentice, somebody
04:50who'd work, you know, under you, so to speak.
04:53Now we're looking for entrepreneurs. Has that massively changed the game for you?
04:57The original format was that people would come to work for me and I would give them a six-figure
05:04job, okay? And back in 2005, a six-figure job was quite a lot of money.
05:10And so you could imagine the kind of resentment and possible disruption that it caused within my company.
05:19So I changed it after about series six to this 50-50 business deal, which is great. That's what's really
05:27kept me at it.
05:28So the calibre of the winners are different because they're entrepreneurs, they're my partners.
05:35And as I say to them, look, you're the expert, you're the one who knows what you're supposed to be
05:42doing in this business.
05:43I'm just there to tell you what not to do.
05:45So are you looking for someone who compliments you or are you kind of looking for a person that you
05:51think, oh, that's a bit of me?
05:53No. No. No, a bit of me. You won't find a bit of me anywhere.
05:58One of a kind. No.
06:01No, I'm looking for someone who's got that entrepreneurial spirit, some spark of brilliance, if you like.
06:09This year, two brilliant finalists to pick between and you have officially hired Karishma as your next business partner.
06:17How close was it between herself and Karishma?
06:19It's always close.
06:20If ever there's a feeling of guilt that I have, it is telling one of them that they've not won.
06:29And as far as Pashtra is concerned, she's very young. So she's got a lot to look forward to, quite
06:35frankly.
06:36And she's done tremendously well to get through at that age.
06:40And what was it about Karishma's business plan that gave her the edge?
06:43Well, cosmetics is one of my favourite subjects.
06:47One of my first businesses that I went into as a young man was cosmetics simply because, how can I
06:55put this in the nicest possible way, the margins are tremendously high.
07:00Yes.
07:00So something that costs ten pence, for example, can end up being sold for two pounds.
07:06Mm-hm.
07:06And the other thing is, is that she's, you know, she's a scientist.
07:12She's a social media influencer.
07:13She's a social media influencer.
07:14Stand-up comedian, arguably.
07:16Yeah, yeah.
07:17At the final, she made everybody laugh.
07:20Yeah.
07:20Which is great.
07:21She shows she's got a personality.
07:23And she's really a grafter.
07:25She really is.
07:26And that's what I like about her.
07:28In terms of expansion and the next steps in the partnership, what happens?
07:33Well, basically, she's going to have to sit down, listen to what I would like her to do.
07:39And that is to spread the portfolio.
07:42She cannot succeed with one product only.
07:45She needs a range of products.
07:47The next thing, and the most important thing, is who's she going to sell it to?
07:52How's she going to go about selling it?
07:54And I think she's a big TikTok influencer.
07:57I don't know whether that's enough.
08:01Possibly it could be.
08:03And I'll be guided by her.
08:06She tells me it is.
08:08But, you know, I've had other experiences in the cosmetics business with previous candidates of The Apprentice that have sold
08:18cosmetics in a different way.
08:21And maybe we could always adapt the ways of selling.
08:25So more products and methodology of selling.
08:31Brilliant.
08:32Well, thank you so much.
08:32I know you're a busy man.
08:33It was a pleasure.
08:34Yeah, great.
08:35And you're doing a great job.
08:36Thank you very much.
08:37Really enjoy it.
08:38It's like this casual kind of approach.
08:40It's great.
08:41Yeah.
08:41And you brought your smart casual today.
08:43So we appreciate the tone.
08:45Okay.
08:46All right.
08:47Good.
08:48Okay.
08:48Well, enough about Lord Sugar's cardigan.
08:50What did you make of the final two?
08:54Two fabulous, professional, young women making their way in the world with real personality, real passion, real desire to be
09:03successful.
09:04They found something they're good at.
09:06And they want to open a business to work hard, to have control over their life, to have their independence
09:12and open their own business.
09:13And I think it's wonderful.
09:15Was there a moment for you, Tim, that you thought, oh, these two, these could be our final two?
09:20I think what I've definitely learned alongside Baroness Brady is that you can never predict what's going to happen because
09:26the candidates grow throughout the process.
09:28And some people start up here and they make a mistake.
09:31They learn from that and they come back again.
09:32But I think seeing them on the first show in Hong Kong, I remember seeing Karishma running up and down
09:40the street and thinking, she doesn't really like this, but she's giving 100%.
09:43And that was really important.
09:45And then you had Pasha with lots of energy wanting to try everything.
09:48And what we always say around good candidates, and you see it with Dean who won last year, who had
09:53an established business very similar to the Karishma, and then we've had younger candidates as well.
09:57What we're actually looking for is people who give 100% because you're in unfamiliar territory.
10:02Definitely so with Hong Kong when they started out and through every single task.
10:05But if you're willing to try really hard, that's probably a good indicator.
10:09Both of them did that from the very beginning.
10:11Okay, well, it is time to welcome our fabulous runner-up, Pasha, who may not have secured the investment, but
10:17with wisdom beyond her years, she certainly made her mark in the process.
10:20Let's remind ourselves of why she is one of our final two.
10:24Hello, everyone.
10:25It is an absolute pleasure to be here today.
10:29Now, I started in recruitment as a rookie three years ago.
10:33And three years later, I'm stood here on this stage, the youngest ever candidate to be here at 21.
10:40So it's an honor and a dream come true.
10:42My passion for the recruitment world is unlike no other.
10:46I live and breathe this job.
10:49It's Pasha, everybody.
10:50Hello.
10:51Welcome.
10:51Thank you for having me.
10:53This is a glow up.
10:54We're into it.
10:55You entered my club.
10:56I know.
10:56I've changed my look.
10:58I'm in my alter ego persona now.
11:00Okay.
11:00The red hair.
11:01Yeah.
11:02Bit of a change.
11:03Once you go red, you never go back.
11:04That is true.
11:05Or something like this.
11:05We're planning on going back.
11:07Love that.
11:07The adaption.
11:09The adaption.
11:10Yes.
11:11Two redheads opposite each other.
11:14Absolutely.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Somewhere a vortex is opening.
11:17Okay.
11:19Congratulations, Pasha, on making it to the final two.
11:22How was it watching that back?
11:24Emotional.
11:25I actually got really emotional watching it back.
11:27It's such an amazing moment and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.
11:32And I think being the youngest to ever go to the final, for me, I did have a lot of
11:37pressure on my back.
11:38But ultimately watching it back, I was like, yeah, I did well for myself.
11:42I'm really, really proud.
11:44Yeah.
11:44I mean, age aside, you did incredibly well.
11:47And obviously your age came up quite a bit.
11:50Mm-hmm.
11:50Was there any part of you that felt like, actually, that allowed you to be underestimated a bit?
11:56Definitely underestimated.
11:58I think walking in at the beginning and it being a known fact that I was the youngest in the
12:02room, people definitely underestimated me.
12:04Mm-hmm.
12:04But that just gave me the push to show them otherwise.
12:07And I'm a big person for age is just a number.
12:11So don't underestimate me because I will show you.
12:15Yeah.
12:15I also think there's something about the kind of spark and the wild naivete maybe that comes with being younger,
12:23where you don't adhere to the rules, the so-called rules.
12:26You're maybe less encumbered by the rules.
12:29Mm-hmm.
12:29I think your age wasn't the factor.
12:31Mm-hmm.
12:32The reality was that you came in, you were fierce from the beginning, you stood your ground.
12:36Yeah.
12:36And you weren't ever willing or shy of defending your position, right?
12:39So I think people from day one had to respect you.
12:41And I think what you show, hopefully, lots of young women who are watching,
12:45that you should stand in your own power from beginning, make no excuses and just deliver,
12:49not be judged by anyone else's standards, by the standards you set yourself.
12:52Yeah, that was the goal.
12:53It's also quite liberating because you've nothing to lose and everything to gain.
12:57Yeah, 100%.
12:58So all you have to do is try your best, keep your focus, show what you're good at,
13:04and everything is an opportunity.
13:06Yeah.
13:07And I think that's how I saw you approach it.
13:10And I presume you learnt quite a lot through the process, did you?
13:13So much.
13:13Yeah.
13:13Absolutely so much, not only in the business world, but in myself and personal growth.
13:18Yeah, what you're capable of.
13:18Yeah, my mum always says, have your wits about you, and I always have my wits about me.
13:23And actually, after the first boardroom, I had a lot of candidates come up to me and say,
13:27the way that you spoke up in the boardroom really allowed me to enter that sort of more dominant persona,
13:34which they didn't have to begin with.
13:35So that was really nice to hear from people that are a lot older than me and have a lot
13:40more business experience,
13:41was, yeah, really nice.
13:42Let's talk about your business rebrand.
13:46Yes.
13:47Because we went from the controversial, maybe, Anne Call, which you were quite steadfast in,
13:54to real approach recruitment.
13:55Do you stand by dropping Anne now?
13:58I completely stand by dropping Anne.
14:01Initially, I was, yeah, I was like, I'm not moving away from this.
14:04I want it to be named after me.
14:05It's personable.
14:07And ultimately, obviously, if you're calling up care homes, calling up candidates,
14:11they know straight away, oh, Anne's calling, and it is personable.
14:14But then, not only did it sound like a body part, which probably isn't the best thing to hear.
14:19But actually, until she said it, I never heard it.
14:22Well, now I can't get it out of my head.
14:23It's, yeah.
14:24But dropping it down to actually something that told a story at the end of the day,
14:29and that is what I wanted to pursue.
14:32Telling a story, they know what we do, straight away.
14:34It's a real approach.
14:36But you had the support of some familiar faces.
14:38Oh, I know.
14:39Obviously, you went straight with Megan, your bestie.
14:42Was it great having her there for emotional support at this pivotal time?
14:45Yeah, throughout the house, we just clicked straight away.
14:48And we are very, very close now.
14:50She's one of my closest friends.
14:52So, yeah, having her back was amazing.
14:55Got emotional after the pitch.
14:56It meant as much as her than it did to me as well.
15:00That really came across.
15:02Yeah, she could see how much I wanted there as well.
15:04So, yeah, it was great to have familiar faces.
15:07I think I picked a good team.
15:08They were brilliant.
15:09They really helped.
15:11How did they do on the ad side of things?
15:15Seeing the ad, I think they smashed it.
15:17Because they really did tell the story of what I wanted them to capture.
15:20And it's about the struggles and about having, you know, the real approach and us being there and actually being
15:26face to face with managers.
15:28In the boardroom, you were very clear that you're going to go ahead with the business regardless of investment.
15:34Is that still the case?
15:35It is definitely still the case because I have a passion for it.
15:39And I don't want to stop doing it because this is what I'm made to do.
15:42And the care industry is very important to me.
15:45So, yeah, 100% I'm going to do it.
15:47Maybe a few years.
15:47I think I'm going to take a step back, enjoy recruitment and billing and doing what I do best for
15:54a while.
15:54Make it some money.
15:55Understand the industry.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Understand the industry and actually the management side of things because I am young.
16:01I haven't been in that management side of the business.
16:04So, yeah, 25.
16:05That's what I've said.
16:06By 25, I'm going to have my own company.
16:09It was a very close decision, Lord Sugar said.
16:12What will you take away from the experience?
16:15Honestly, like my life will change because of the experience now.
16:18And I really do feel a lot more positive about going into the big wide world in business because of
16:23this.
16:24It's, yeah, it's made a big difference to how I see things now.
16:28And standout moments?
16:31I think, honestly, getting to the final and actually having that one on one time with Lord Sugar to pitch
16:37myself to him.
16:38And for him to see that was obviously my highlight.
16:42And then I'd probably say Egypt was one of my favourite tasks.
16:47You loved Egypt.
16:48I loved Egypt.
16:49You and that little buggy turn around the desert.
16:50It was fab.
16:51She was living her best life.
16:53When can you ever say that you've done a tour in the desert in Egypt?
16:56And called it a work day.
16:58I know.
16:58Yeah, it was fabulous.
16:59And obviously meeting Megan was just the cherry on the cake.
17:02Pasha, honestly, such a pleasure.
17:05An absolute incredible achievement to land as runner up.
17:09And you've been amazing to watch.
17:10And we wish you all the best in the future.
17:12Thank you so much.
17:13Pasha, everybody.
17:15Well done.
17:17Now, it is time to welcome our winner of The Apprentice 2026.
17:21She lit up the room with her comedic wit, her powerful storytelling and her business brilliance.
17:25It can only be Karishma.
17:27Let's relive her winning pitch.
17:29Believe it or not, that is what my skin looked like when I was 18 years old.
17:34And it completely consumed me.
17:35I had acne.
17:36I had scarring.
17:37I was so insecure.
17:39And I turned to pretty much every skincare brand out there.
17:43A lot of you are sitting in the audience here today.
17:44So thank you for supporting me on my skin journey.
17:47Unfortunately, nothing worked for too long.
17:57It's Karishma, everybody.
18:02Our winner of The Apprentice Series 20.
18:05It's a big one.
18:06It is a big one.
18:08You're speechless for the first time.
18:10I am speechless.
18:10And I do just really want to say I'm in awe of everything that you guys have created.
18:16And I can't even believe that I get to sit on the same round table as you guys.
18:21Like, my life is going to change from this point on.
18:23And I owe it to a lot of people in this room.
18:25So thank you so much.
18:26And you deserve it.
18:27So never feel that you don't deserve a seat here.
18:30You absolutely do.
19:01Has it sunk in?
19:02No.
19:03Not at all.
19:04Not at all.
19:04Not even a single percent.
19:06But a few years ago, I went to a psychic who told me a white man will change my life.
19:11And I always thought it was my partner.
19:12And then I realised that this is probably my prophecy coming true.
19:16But I just think...
19:17Can I have a number?
19:18You absolutely can.
19:19I just...
19:20This was never written in the stars for me or in the cards for me.
19:24I just didn't see it happening for me.
19:26And I have said this before.
19:27I just...
19:28The Apprentice was something that never crossed my mind.
19:30It fell into...
19:32I had to do it because I had no money left.
19:34So it was like, I'm going to do this and I'll probably go home after Hong Kong.
19:38And I ended up making it here.
19:40And I'm just so happy that Lord Sugar chose me.
19:44It's so interesting, your perception of how you performed and appeared in the series
19:50versus the reality, I think.
19:52Because from the very beginning, it felt like you did not come to play.
19:56There was no intention of you leaving after Hong Kong or any other time.
20:00Did that feel like...
20:01Was that you trying to convince yourself?
20:03For a long time, I've needed to turn my life around.
20:06And I put every single night into it.
20:08Every single moment I can into turning this business into a success.
20:11So when I say in business, I have no fear.
20:15But in life, I'm just a very regular person.
20:18And I just cannot believe this is my life right now.
20:21Thank you guys for having me.
20:23I love you.
20:24Let's remind yourself, just so you know, it actually did happen.
20:27Here's your winning moment.
20:30The conclusion is that I'll be investing in Karishma.
20:39Oh, amazing.
20:40Thank you so much, Lord Sugar.
20:42I absolutely won't let you down.
20:43I came in with a very big dream.
20:45I need you by my side to make it happen.
20:47And I will absolutely not let you down in this process.
20:50Congratulations, Karishma.
20:52Well done, Karishma.
20:52Thank you so much.
20:53OK.
20:55Thank you so much.
20:56You've both been incredible in the process.
20:58Off you go.
21:00Thank you, Barnes Brady.
21:01Thank you, Tim.
21:03A winner!
21:05I will deserve.
21:06I believe you too.
21:07Well deserved.
21:08And I believe you when you say you won't let him down.
21:10Yeah, I won't.
21:11But I'm glad Lord Sugar saw it in me.
21:14And, you know, he said that, you know, it's hard to be a bit of him
21:18and you have to really impress him.
21:19And that was like me from the beginning.
21:22How do I make myself noticed?
21:24Because sometimes I'm a bit shy, I'm a bit quiet, I'm a bit introverted.
21:27Really?
21:28Yeah.
21:29For sure.
21:29I am.
21:30I feel like in the house as well, like a lot of people ripped me off from the beginning.
21:34There's this thing, we were seeing you and we felt that you had this larger-than-life personality.
21:39The important thing I felt was that you made your work do the talking.
21:43It wasn't about what you looked like.
21:45It was like, look at the results.
21:47This is what I do.
21:48You led with the fact that you were clever, you were smart, you were articulate
21:51and you weren't going to just take the easy route from Hong Kong,
21:54when you were doing the negotiation, making that silly song, right?
21:56Right through to the very end.
21:58It's still a good song.
22:00It's still a good song.
22:01It's still a good song.
22:01You were.
22:01I stand by it.
22:03Yeah.
22:04But you were a grafter and I think Lord Sugar saw that from the beginning
22:07and really values that work ethic, but also you managed from the get-go to show your personality.
22:13So many of those tasks were kind of like a bit of me.
22:17And when I was explaining the task, Lord Sugar would say, this is what you're doing this week.
22:20I would sit there thinking, I've somehow managed to get lucky again this week.
22:25But I also realized I'm incredibly adaptive.
22:28I didn't know that about myself.
22:30Honestly, I came here and I'm like, wait, I know how to get doughnuts.
22:33I know how to communicate with people in Arabic, like the two, three words I knew came in handy in
22:39Egypt.
22:39Like you really have to adapt.
22:41And I saw that side of me come out.
22:44And now every single day in business, I think if this was a task, how do I win?
22:47From like, I did an exhibition recently where I was selling and pulling people out of a crowd of 3
22:52,000 to sell.
22:53And I had my biggest, most successful weekend ever, a 20 grand weekend, which I've never had ever.
22:57And that was what I learned from selling flowers in the market.
23:00So this is going to be the reason I make it, this process, those 12 weeks.
23:06Let's talk Be The Sun.
23:08Because much like the other challenges that you led, you went in with an absolutely crystal clear vision on this
23:14one.
23:14Did it go the way you imagined?
23:16It went better than I imagined.
23:18My team was so solid.
23:20There was no ego there.
23:21This is a combined dream now.
23:23We have to take it to the win.
23:24And I was honored to have those people on my team.
23:27They did better than I could have anticipated.
23:28And I had Rothner by my side.
23:30That girl knows skincare inside out, just like me.
23:33So that was probably an insane match.
23:36That's why it went well.
23:37And I was very proud of it.
23:39Lord Sugar was not convinced on the name.
23:42How does that work out?
23:43Well, it's gone.
23:43If he doesn't like it, it's done.
23:45You really impressed from the get go with that confidence that we all saw.
23:49But you mentioned Rothner.
23:52And when she left the process, I think I was certainly surprised.
23:55I think others were surprised by your response to her leaving and the significance you placed on her as a
24:02kind of partner in your corner and how she got you through the process.
24:07It's crazy how much you emotionally start depending on people in the process because you are tested in all ways
24:13that you can imagine.
24:14And for me, as a person, it's always been a little bit harder to make friends.
24:18I feel like I'm a little bit different.
24:19And sometimes it's harder for me to make friends.
24:22But I think Rothner saw that I need her.
24:24She needs me.
24:25And we really got each other through it.
24:27Your dad was a kind of driving force and, you know, came up as the kind of inspiration and that
24:35like energy, I think that was ever present, really.
24:40I always say, you know, Lord Sugar will teach me the ropes when my dad invented the ropes.
24:44So he honestly deserves all the praise in the world.
24:47That man changed my life and I have to do the same for him.
24:50And I will. I will.
24:52And this whole thing was so that I could just get us a home.
24:56And I hope that it's in the cards for us now because we deserve it.
25:00We've worked very hard.
25:00We've been hustling.
25:01When The Apprentice first promo came out and it was Hustlers Gonna Hustle.
25:05I said, OK, well, that's my line.
25:07I've been saying this.
25:08You know, I don't.
25:09I'm not, you know, I'm rough around the edges.
25:12But it sells.
25:14Realness sells.
25:14It was very clear that you had a very solid foundation because, as you said, there was a lot happening
25:21in through the process.
25:22You knew the North Star for yourself, where it was supposed to be.
25:26And every time you'd come up, whether it was your playing with your fingers or saying your affirmations to yourself,
25:30we were always seeing these little things that you did and actually always powered you onto the next stage.
25:37And that's really, really important for people to understand.
25:41Karen, what do you think gave Karishma the edge for Lord Sugar?
25:45I think he absolutely saw your drive and your passion.
25:50I think he liked the fact that you turned your hand to everything that was put at you and that
25:56you had some real wins.
25:58I mean, I'm talking about wins where the the reason that task was won was because of you.
26:04And in some cases, only because of you.
26:08And at this level, as an investor, when you're investing in someone, it's not so much the idea as the
26:14person.
26:15And I think he saw that whatever you do, you're going to do it well.
26:19You're going to make him proud as you've made yourself and your family proud.
26:22And you're not going to let him down.
26:26It has been an absolute pleasure watching you to use Karen's term boss it from the beginning.
26:32So many of the tasks and strutting, not walking, never walking away with the investment.
26:38Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
26:40It is a life changing amount of money.
26:44I mean, I feel like this is it's just the beginning, right?
26:47Absolutely. I feel like this is something I needed to accelerate my career.
26:53I always say I needed a miracle.
26:54This is why I came here, because there are so many beauty brands and so many people trying to do
26:58something new.
26:59And I think it does come down to the person.
27:01It really does come down to the reputation you've created in your industry.
27:05Do people buy into what you say? Everything is perception, right?
27:08So I feel like I spent seven years building that online only for me to be able to say it
27:13confidently in front of Lord Sugar.
27:14This is who you're investing in.
27:16And yes, for my brand, this is the very beginning and more products are coming.
27:21So much is in development, huge campaigns.
27:23I want to really see my brand on billboards grow so quickly and be at the top.
27:28Touch the skies like you guys.
27:30See you at the top as well.
27:31Yes.
27:31It would be great.
27:32It would be great.
27:33It's been an absolute pleasure.
27:36Congratulations once again.
27:37The winner of The Apprentice Series 20, Karishma, everyone.
27:42That is the end of the show and the end of the series.
27:45Thank you so much to the fabulous Karen, to Tim, to our runner-up Pasha, and of course to our
27:49winner, Karishma.
