Last updated 24th Mar 2022
Lord Sugar's search for a new business partner reaches its climax on The Apprentice tonight and one of this year's finalists, who is Swindon born and bred, has spoken to Greatest Hits Radio.
After the trials and tribulations of 12 episodes, Kathryn Burn is now one victory away from winning Series 16.
What is the final task?
The three-day challenge sees the former Dorcan Academy student pitch her online pyjama brand, with the hope of bagging a £250,000 investment from the business mogul.
Both Kathryn and fellow finalist Harpreet Kaur are tasked with launching their respective new businesses, aided by some of this year's fired contestants.
30-year-old Harpreet will attempt to persuade Lord Sugar that her coffee and cake firm is worthy of his cash.
Both candidates are instructed to create a new brand and digital billboard for their company, as well as direct and edit a television advert.
This is all unveiled to Lord Sugar and an array of industry experts, at London's Pennington Street Warehouse.
'Mum, we need matching pyjamas!'
Despite the highly competitive and volatile nature of the online clothing industry, 29-year-old Kathryn feels her pyjama business is worthy of the £250,00 investment.
The entrepreneur has told us the inspiration behind initially launching My Christmas Pyjamas, in 2018.
"I was actually looking for that product myself and I couldn't find it at the time.
"I was living in Australia, I was calling my Mum because I was going home that Christmas and so was my brother and we hadn't seen each other in years. I said: 'Mum, we need matching pyjamas!'
"I started looking online and found a wholesaler and just set-up an Instagram account and a website. It all went from there really!" she said.
Kathryn also spoke spoke to our reporter Matt Hutchinson earlier in the series:
The final of The Apprentice airs at 9pm on Thursday 24 March.
