Who was fired from The Apprentice 2025? Jonny Heaver is the fifth candidate to be axed by Lord Sugar as his luck finally runs out

Jonny Heaver has been revealed as the fifth candidate to be fired by Lord Sugar during Thursday’s instalment of the BBC show.

It comes after the 23-year-old, who owns his own tutoring business Achieve Tutoring, narrowly missed out on being given the boot last week. 

Thursday’s episode of The Apprentice marked week six of the compeтιтion – where the contestants headed off to Turkey, with one team going to Bodrum and the other in Cappadocia. 

Each team had to impress Lord Sugar by creating their own day experiences for a very important client, and the team that made the most profit would be crowner winner. 

Chisola Chitambala was voted project manager for her team, and picked Anisa Khan as sub team leader.

Frederick Afrifa did point out that Jonny hadn’t been PM or sub team leader at all throughout the process, but he said that he wouldn’t be the best fit for this task.

Meanwhile Keir Shave was given the role of PM for his team, and chose Mia Collins to be his second in command.

Throughout the episode the teams tried to haggle their prices down as much as they could. 

Kier took their guests on an incredible H๏τ air balloon activity, while Mia managed her team in the kitchen. 

There was a little bit of tension between Mia and Melica Moshiri, when she told her that it doesn’t take much initiative to lay a table.  

Chisola and the team took theirs out in Jeeps – where their clients from Vodafone were told to turn their phones off and enjoy each other’s company. 

And things were a little awkward as they tried to make small talk in the vehicles. 

They hit a bump in the road when the clients asked to finish the tour early and wanted to eat instead.

Meanwhile Chisola’s sub team, led by Anisa, got stuck in the kitchen on the yacht. 

The guests were desperate for a glᴀss of wine, but they very awkwardly didn’t have any, so they had to go and get some.  

They managed to pick things up, but then really wanted some more booze and had to tell them that they had run out. 

In the boardroom, Lord Sugar was told that Kier’s team made a profit of €1580 and the corporates client really enjoyed themselves.

Chisola’s team made a profit of €2070, but unfortunately they didn’t feel like they had a luxury service and asked for a 40% refund, meaning that they actually made €470 profit. 

She decided to bring back Frederik and Jonny to the boardroom.

Lord Sugar said: ‘Chisola, the underlying thing that has come through it that you were very much focused on profit and not the customer experience.’ 

He added: ‘Jonny, your tour chat was unfortunately drier than your drinks cabinet.’ 

Jonny replied: ‘Despite me not being  on the tour time on the first day, I put myself forward and I led the second part of the tour.

‘How could it be boring? It was two and a half minutes.’ 

Lord Sugar asked the trio who they think should be fired for the task. 

Frederik said that it should be Jonny as he ‘always sits on the fence’ and he clapped back: ‘That is not fair. 

‘Lord Sugar, I put myself forward for project manager on this task. I didn’t think I put myself forward for sub team because I didn’t think I had the skills.’ 

Chisola also agreed and said that it should be Jonny too.

Lord Sugar said in the boardroom: ‘Jonny, I haven’t seen much from you in these six weeks. 

‘What I have seen is a tendency to make excuses; it’s not your fault or “I don’t want to do that because I’m not experienced in this”.

‘My mind leads me in one direction and I’m afraid to say it’s because after six weeks, I haven’t seen much from you, that Jonny…

‘You’re fired.’

Jonny said in the taxi: ‘Do you know what? Absolutely gutted.

‘Lord Sugar, Tim, Baroness Brady are my absolute heroes and I would have loved them to see me as project manager but I have had a fantastic experience and I leave with my head held high.’  

The fifth week, which saw the teams create their own Easter eggs, saw Dr Jana Denzel shockingly step away from the process, meaning that the rest of his team managed to stay in the compeтιтion. 

Jonny has now sadly followed in the footsteps of his co-stars Nadia Suliaman, Carlo Brancati, Aoibheann Walsh and Emma Rothwell. 

The Apprentice airs Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
