Week Five Exit Shakes Up Apprentice Market
Betting odds have been updated on The Apprentice 2026 winner after Vanessa Tetteh-Squire became the fifth candidate to leave the BBC One series.
Lord Sugar delivered the famous “You’re fired” to the tech project manager from Enfield after her team lost the flower-selling task in episode five.
Vanessa stepped up as Project Manager but ultimately carried the responsibility when the task went wrong and the betting market has reacted accordingly.

Why Harry Leads the Betting
The Financial Sales Manager from Battersea has impressed with:
- Consistent task performances
- Commercial awareness
- Strong boardroom resilience
While he hasn’t dominated every challenge, his steady approach appears to have caught both Lord Sugar’s attention and the bookmakers’.
Karishma & Levi Close Behind
Karishma Vijay and Levi Hague both sit at 3/1 in the latest market.
Karishma’s leadership credentials and brand-focused approach continue to draw support, while former RAF Gunner Levi has impressed viewers with his no-nonsense style.
At this stage of the competition, the market suggests there is no runaway leader, unlike some previous series.
Megan Ruiter and Rajan Gill are priced at 4/1, keeping them firmly within striking distance.
With tasks becoming more commercially complex as the series progresses, strong weeks can dramatically shorten odds and one bad performance can see candidates drift quickly.
