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. It's
00:34time 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?
00:55Um well 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 ambiance was good and taking it to
01:18a new level I thought really made an impact in the opening episode. Wonderful. What about you
01:25Tim? Standout moments. Hong Kong was brilliant it was as Karen has said but for me I was really
01:30interested in the technological elements that we were bringing to the series. The PT one was really
01:35gamified fitness. I was really looking forward to that and then we got bombarded with magical frogs.
01:41I don't remember where they came from so it would stand out maybe for the wrong reasons right. So I
01:46love the fact that every single season Lord Sugar is keen to push on what is happening in the real
01:52world and bring it into the series. But the candidates sometimes keep bringing the same mistakes that
01:57they bring for some of the series where they have to learn as they do on the task. Oh so
02:01your stink eye
02:02doesn't change. I had to feel what you were saying there but yes. I love it that's also as consistent
02:09as your sugar. Lots of familiar faces from over the past 20 years joined for pitching stages so we had
02:16Nick and we had Margaret also had some previous winners Dean and Ricky and Leah and Tom and Marnie.
02:22How was it having you know the alumni so to speak back in one room? Oh it was great wasn't
02:27it? I mean the
02:29thing is everybody gets on so well and we're all friends. I've been on holiday with Alan. Claude has
02:36been there. Nick has been there. We've all been together. We're all good friends. Who picks up the
02:40check do you mind me asking? Well I couldn't possibly say that. We take it in turns. But it's Alan's
02:46boat.
02:48I should put it like that. His yacht I should say. The boat is underselling it somewhat. So no but
02:55everyone gets on well. We all have one thing in common. That we all want to see the show be
03:00a
03:00success. We all want to see it as a vehicle for people to get into business. So it's great.
03:06Well you know I do think that kind of energy in the room and the support and that sense of
03:09you know a young person, Karishma in this case, starting out on their journey to know that actually
03:15you're kind of joining a little family really. A little club and it's great to see the candidates who
03:19are coming back and celebrating their fantastically successful business. Look at Dr Leia and a brilliant company.
03:24You've got Tom. You've got Ricky Martin. So for those candidates at the final to see what they
03:29could potentially walk in. I think it up that level and they really delivered.
03:33It was the beginning of the beginning not the beginning of the end.
03:35I 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 okay.
03:46I've become very accustomed to them but this time I caught up with him face to face to reflect
03:50on 20 years of The Apprentice. Let's have a look.
03:53Hello Lord Sugar. Hello. Thank you for joining me today 20 years in.
04:00Right. Did you think you'd get to this point on the show?
04:03Honestly speaking no. Was it 2005 or something like that or 2004 was when we recorded the first one
04:12and I 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. Yeah.
04:23Not much has changed. Quite a handsome fellow. I didn't realise that. I didn't realise that.
04:28But the fingers the same isn't it really.
04:30That 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.
04:44It feels like there's been a change in that initially you were looking for an apprentice.
04:50Somebody who'd work you know under you so to speak.
04:53Yeah.
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.
05:05Okay. And back in 2005 a six-figure job was quite a lot of money.
05:11And 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.
05:27That's what's really kept me at it.
05:29So the calibre of the winners are different because they're entrepreneurs.
05:34They're my partners.
05:35And as I say to them look you're the expert.
05:39You're the one who knows what you're supposed to be doing 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.
05:53No.
05:54No, a bit of me. You won't find a bit of me anywhere.
05:58One of a kind.
05:59No, 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?
06:18Very, it'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.
06:32So she's got a lot to look forward to, quite frankly.
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?
06:44Well, 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,
06:53um, how can I put this in the nicest possible way, the margins are tremendously high.
07:00Yes.
07:00So something that costs 10 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.
07:11She's a social media influencer.
07:13Social media influencer.
07:14Stand-up comedian, arguably.
07:16Yeah. Yeah. At the final, she, she, well, she made everybody laugh.
07:20Yeah. Uh, which is great.
07:21She shows she's got a personality and she, she's really a grafter.
07:25She really is. And 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.
07:57Mm-hm.
07:57I don't know whether that's enough, um, possibly it could be, uh, and I'll be guided by her.
08:06She tells me it is, uh, but you know, I've had other experiences in the cosmetics business with previous, uh,
08:15candidates, uh, of the apprentice that have sold cosmetics in, in, in a different way.
08:21And maybe we could always adapt the ways of selling.
08:25So more, more products and methodology of selling.
08:31Brilliant. Well, thank you so much. I know you're a busy man. It was a pleasure.
08:34Yeah, great. And you're doing a great job.
08:36Thank you very much.
08:37Really enjoy it. It's like this casual kind of approach. It's great.
08:41Yeah.
08:41Thank you. And you brought your smart casual today. So we appreciate the tone.
08:44Okay. All right. Good.
08:47Okay. Well, enough about Lord Sugar's cardigan. What 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 and they want to open a business to, to, to work hard, to have
09:09control over their life, to have their independence and open their own business.
09:13And I think it's wonderful. Was there a moment for you, Tim, that you thought, oh, these two, these could
09:18be our, our final two?
09:20I think what I've definitely learned with alongside Bernice Brady is that you can never predict what's going to happen
09:25because the candidates grow throughout the process and some people start up here and they make a mistake.
09:31They learn from that and they come back again. But I think seeing them on the first series, first show
09:36in Hong Kong, I remember seeing Karishma running up and down the street and thinking she doesn't really like this,
09:42but she's giving 100% and that was really important. And then you had Pasha with lots of energy wanting
09:48to 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. Definitely so with Hong
10:02Kong 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. Both of them did that from the
10:10very beginning.
10:11OK, 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. It is an absolute pleasure to be here today. Now, I started in recruitment as a rookie three
10:32years ago.
10:33And three years later, I'm stood here on this stage, the youngest ever candidate to be here at 21. So
10:40it's an honour and a dream come true.
10:42My passion for the recruitment world is unlike no other. I live and breathe this job.
10:49It's Pasha, everybody.
10:50Hello. Thank you for having me.
10:53This is a glow-up. We're into it. You entered my club.
10:56I've changed my look. I'm in my alter ego persona now.
11:00OK. The red hair.
11:01Yeah.
11:01Yeah, bit of a change.
11:02Once you go red, you never go back.
11:04That is true.
11:05Or something like this.
11:05I'm not planning on going back.
11:07Love that.
11:08The adaption, the adaption, yes.
11:11Two redheads opposite each other.
11:14Absolutely, yeah. Somewhere a vortex is opening.
11:16OK. Congratulations, Pasha, on making it to the final two.
11:22How was it watching that back?
11:24Emotional. I actually got really emotional watching it back.
11:26It's such an amazing moment.
11:29And I'm so grateful for the opportunity.
11:31And 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.
11:44I mean, age aside, you did incredibly well.
11:47And obviously, your age came up quite a bit.
11:50Was there any part of you that felt like, actually, that allowed you to be underestimated a bit?
11:56Definitely underestimated.
11:57I 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.
12:04But 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.
12:14I 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.
12:25You're maybe less encumbered by the rules.
12:29I think your age wasn't the factor.
12:31The reality was that you came in, you were fierce from the beginning, you stood your ground, and you weren't
12:36ever willing or shy of defending your position.
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, that you should stand in your
12:46own power from beginning, make no excuses and just deliver, not be judged by anyone else's standards, by the standards
12:51you 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, and everything
13:05is an opportunity.
13:06Yeah.
13:07And I think that's how I saw you approach it.
13:09And I presume you learnt quite a lot through the process, did you?
13:13So much.
13:13Yeah.
13:13Absolutely so much.
13:14Not only in the business world, but in myself and personal growth.
13:17Yeah, what you're capable of.
13:18Yeah.
13:19My mum always says, have your wits about you.
13:21And I always have my wits about me.
13:22And actually, after the first boardroom, I had a lot of candidates come up to me and say, the way
13:27that you spoke up in the boardroom really allowed me to enter that sort of more dominant persona, which they
13:34didn'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 was, 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, to real approach recruitment.
13:55Do you stand by dropping Anne now?
13:58I completely stand by dropping Anne. Initially, I was, yeah, I was like, I'm not moving away from this. I
14:04want it to be named after me. It's personable.
14:07And ultimately, obviously, if you're calling up care homes, calling up candidates, they know straight away, oh, Anne's calling.
14:13And it is personable. But then not only did it sound like a body part, which probably isn't the best
14:18thing to hear.
14:19But actually, until she said it, I never heard it.
14:21Now I can't get it out of my head.
14:23Yeah, but dropping it down to actually something that told a story at the end of the day.
14:28And that is what I wanted to pursue.
14:32Telling a story. They know what we do straight away.
14:34It's a real approach.
14:35But 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. And we are very, very close now.
14:50She's one of my closest friends. So, yeah, having her back was amazing. Got emotional after the pitch.
14:57It meant as much as her than it did to me as well.
15:00That really came across.
15:01Yeah, she could see how much I wanted it as well. So, yeah, it was great to have familiar faces.
15:07I think I picked a good team. They were brilliant. They really helped.
15:11How did they do on the ad side of things?
15:15Seeing the ad, I think they smashed it because they really did tell the story of what I wanted them
15:20to capture.
15:21And 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 and I don't want to stop doing
15:40it because this is what I'm made to do.
15:42And the care industry is very important to me.
15:44So, 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.
16:03So, yeah, 25, that'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.
16:48You and that little buggy turn around.
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.
17:03Pasha, honestly, such a pleasure.
17:04An absolute incredible achievement to land as a 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.
17:16Now, it is time to welcome our winner of The Apprentice 2026.
17:20She 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.
17:33And 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.
18:01Our 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.
18:15And 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.
18:31So don't ever apologise for being in the room.
18:34There's loads of moments where you said something nice about me, Baroness Brady.
18:37And I was just shocked.
18:39Like, I relive it in my head all the time.
18:41Because when it comes from another woman in business, firstly.
18:43But just Baroness Brady itself, it blows my mind.
18:48It just...
18:49Now you've won.
18:50You can call me Karen.
18:52Is that what it takes?
18:53There you go.
18:54Is that on camera?
18:56It's a very select few who can call her Karen.
18:59That's insane.
19:00Thank you so much.
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.
19:13And 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 in...
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 versus the reality, I think.
19:51Because 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, every 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.
20:29The conclusion is...
20:33..that I'll be investing in...
20:38..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.
20:54Thank you so much.
20:55You'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 believe you two.
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?
21:23Because sometimes I'm a bit shy, I'm a bit quiet, I'm a bit introverted.
21:27Really?
21:28Yeah.
21:29I am.
21:30I feel like in the house as well, like, a lot of people ripped me off
21:33from the beginning.
21:34But it's just the thing.
21:34We were seeing you and we felt that you had this larger-than-life
21:38personality.
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.
21:46This is what I do.
21:47You led with the fact that you were clever, you were smart,
21:50you were articulate, and you weren't going to just take the easy route.
21:52From Hong Kong, when you were doing the negotiation,
21:55making that silly song, right?
21:56Right through to the very end.
21:58Local, mahjong.
21:59It's still a good song.
22:00It'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
22:06from the beginning and really values that work ethic.
22:09But 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,
22:19this 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 realised I'm incredibly adaptive.
22:28I didn't know that about myself.
22:29Honestly, I came here, and I'm like, wait, I know how to get doughnuts.
22:33I know how to communicate with people.
22:35You know, in Arabic, like, the two, three words I knew came in handy in Egypt.
22:39Like, you really have to adapt.
22:41And I saw that side of me come out.
22:43And 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
22:50and pulling people out of a crowd of 3,000 to sell,
22:53and I had my biggest, most successful weekend ever,
22:55a 20 grand weekend, which I've never had, ever.
22:57And that was what I learnt 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,
23:11you went in with an absolutely crystal clear vision on this one.
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 honoured to have those people on my team.
23:26They did better than I could have anticipated.
23:28And I had Rodna 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, and I was very proud of it.
23:39Lord Sugar was not convinced on the name.
23:41How 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 Rothna.
23:51And when she left the process, I think I was certainly surprised.
23:55I think others were surprised by your response to her leaving
23:59and the significance you placed on her as a kind of partner in your corner
24:03and how she got you through the process.
24:07It's crazy how much you emotionally start depending on people in the process
24:10because you are tested in all ways that 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.
24:21But I think Rothna saw that I need her, she needs me,
24:25and we really got each other through it.
24:26Your dad was a kind of driving force
24:31and, you know, came up as the kind of inspiration
24:35and that, like, energy, I think, that was ever-present, really.
24:40I always say, you know, Lord Sugar will teach me the ropes
24:43when 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.
24:51And this whole thing was so that I could just get us a home
24:55and I hope that it's in the cards for us now
24:58because we deserve it.
24:59We've worked very hard.
25:00We've been hustling.
25:01When The Apprentice's first promo came out
25:03and 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, I'm not, you know, I'm rough around the edges,
25:12but it sells, realness sells.
25:14It was very clear that you had a very solid foundation
25:18because, as you said, there was a lot happening in 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
25:29or saying your affirmations to yourself,
25:30we were always seeing these little, little things that you did
25:33and actually it always powered you on to the next stage.
25:36And 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
25:52to everything that was put at you
25:55and that you had some real wins.
25:58I mean, I'm talking about wins where the reason that task was won
26:03was because of you and, in some cases, only because of you.
26:07And at this level, as an investor, when you're investing in someone,
26:12it's not so much the idea as the person.
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
26:21and your family proud, and you're not going to let him down.
26:24Thank you, Baron Spaddy.
26:26It has been an absolute pleasure watching you,
26:29to use Karen's term, boss.
26:30It, from the beginning, so many of the tasks,
26:34and strutting, not walking, never walking away with the investment.
26:38£250,000, it is a life-changing amount of money.
26:44I mean, I feel like this is, it's just the beginning, right?
26:47Absolutely.
26:48I feel like this is something I needed to accelerate my career.
26:52I always say I needed a miracle.
26:54This is why I came here, because there are so many beauty brands
26:57and so many people trying to do something 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?
27:07Everything is perception, right?
27:08So I feel like I spent seven years building that online,
27:11only for me to be able to say it confidently from Lord Sugar,
27:14this is who you're investing in.
27:16And yes, for my brand, this is the very beginning.
27:19And more products are coming, so much is in development, huge campaigns.
27:23I want to really see my brand on billboards grow so quickly
27:27and be at the top, touch the skies like you guys.
27:30See you at the top as well.
27:31Yes, girl.
27:32It would be great.
27:32It would be great.
27:33It's been an absolute pleasure.
27:35Congratulations once again.
