If the bookmakers’ predictions are accurate, the outcome of the latest series of The Apprentice is a foregone conclusion.
MyBettingSites.co.uk says 28-year-old Karishma Vijay has a 75 per cent chance of being crowned The Apprentice champion.
Her odds of 1/3 compare with outsider Pascha Myhill’s odds of 3/1, meaning the bookies think she has only a 25 per cent chance of winning.
Both candidates are vying to win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment and mentorship.

A spokesperson for MyBettingSites.co.uk said: “Karishma has stood out from the very beginning, landing a bargain deal in the opening episode and continuing to perform at a high level while also becoming the only contestant of series 20 to win twice as project manager of a task.
“She is now looking for investment to scale her skincare business, which fits well with Alan Sugar’s track record of backing similar ventures, including series 7 contestant Susie Ma and her company Tropic Skincare, one of the UK’s fastest-growing brands.
“As a result, Karishma is the clear favourite to win The Apprentice with odds of 1/3. Even though Pascha has outperformed initial expectations and managed to reach the final two, she is still expected to fall just short of securing investment her odds of winning are 3/1.”
Karishma Vijay is the founder of Twickenham-based beauty brand Kishkin, which describes itself as a ‘skincare miracle’.
She went into the show admitting she didn’t even watch The Apprentice and has amassed more than 850,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok.
At 22, Pascha Myhill is the youngest contestant on the show and is seeking investment for a recruitment company within private healthcare. She recently launched an exclusive subscription service for behind-the-scenes content.
