Kathryn Louise Burn, from Swindon, has made the final of The Apprentice 2022.

The former Dorcan Academy student progressed through the dreaded interview round - and is one task away from becoming Lord Sugar's next business partner.

A showdown with Harpreet Kaur is now on the cards for the 29-year-old, after the pair beat 13 other contestants to reach the final stage.

She will attempt to persuade Lord Sugar to invest £250,000 in her pyjama brand, rather than Harpreet's dessert business.

My Everyday Pyjamas says its mission is "to provide customers with luxuriously stylish pyjamas for the whole family, which will make you feel good - not just every day, but on holidays, nights in, and special occasions too!"

'We had such a laugh off-camera'

Speaking to Greatest Hits Radio earlier in the series, Kathryn said the process of filming The Apprentice last summer was "so intense" and "non-stop". Many of the challenges commence in the early hours of the morning - and during some weeks two tasks are recorded.

However, despite the trials and tribulations of the experience, she says living under the same roof as the fellow contestants was her favourite aspect of participating in the show.

"We had such a laugh off-camera. It was good because everything seemed to be left in the boardroom ... (the tasks) would kind of all be forgotten about.

"I absolutely loved the house," she added.

The final of The Apprentice airs at 9pm on Thursday 24 March.
