How to watch 'The Apprentice' season 19 online for free — stream from anywhere, corporate hospitality challenge up next

The U.K. version of "The Apprentice" is back for its 19th run, as another bunch of hopefuls take on each other and the boardroom to try and win Lord Alan Sugar's approval and a £250,000 investment. Here's how you can watch "The Apprentice" season 19 online around the world and from anywhere with a VPN, plus free streaming options.

Among those trying to impress Lord Sugar and his advisors Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell MBE this year are a pizza mogul, hair transplant consultant, cosmetic dentist and assorted other entrepreneurs — all hoping to avoid the immortal words: "You're fired".

Challenging them will be tasks as varied as creating a virtual popstar, flogging fruit and veg, designing Easter Eggs, and marketing corporate hospitality products in Turkey. Not forgetting the classic discount buying task, this year in Stratford-upon-Avon, home of William Shakespeare.

After last week's unfortunate candidate fired themself from the process after cracking under the pressure of the Easter Egg task, (you can see who's already been eliminated in the candidates list at the bottom of this article) episode 6 sees the rest head to sunnier climes of Türkiye to try and impress corporate clients with a tailor-made away-day experience.

It's television's toughest job interview and only one person will be left standing after 12 gruelling weeks. Read on and discover how you can watch "The Apprentice" season 19 online and from anywhere in the world — including for free.

The U.K. iteration of "The Apprentice" is one of 30+ international versions of the show that was first popularized by Donald Trump in U.S. The British show starring Lord Alan Sugar, however, doesn't air beyond the borders of Blighty. So it won't be readily available for viewers in the U.S., Canada or Australia.

However, if you're U.K. citizen travelling abroad, there's still a way to connect to BBC iPlayer from anywhere and stream hit shows like "The Apprentice" online no matter where you are. All you need is a VPN such as NordVPN — full instructions above.
