Megan Hornby is still favourite to win this year's series of The Apprentice ahead of this week's Male Beauty task
Sweet shop owner Megan Hornby is still the favourite to win The Apprentice according to our betting industry insider ahead of this week's episode.
Hornby was on the losing team in last week's Immersive Event task but her and Simba Rwambiwa came out of the task with praise from Lord Sugar after turning around their teammates poor mistakes.
The betting odds say there's a chance of 28% that Hornby wins the show ahead of former favourite Dani Donovan who is out to 7/2 now to win.
| Winning Candidate | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Megan Hornby | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Dani Donavan | 7/2 | 22.22% |
| Simba Rwambiwa | 4/1 | 20% |
| Bradley Johnson | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Richelle Raye Anthony | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Avi Sharma | 12/1 | 7.7% |

Mark Moseley was fired in last week's episode after poor management in for his team's prison-themed experience
Pest Control company owner and former soldier Mark Moseley was the latest contestant fired by Lord Sugar on The Apprentice following the recent task.
Moseley's leadership wasn't good enough according to Lord Sugar last week with losing control of the profit and loss for the task given as the main reason for his dismissal in the boardroom.
The lack of communication with the customers, who didn't know they would be in a proper prison experience, left the task in disarray and left Sugar with no option but to fire the Team Leader this week.

Who is market leader Megan Hornby?
Megan comes into the Apprentice hailing from East Yorkshire and is the current owner of a sweet shop by the name of The Candy Shop in Hull
Whilst Megan claims to be overly-ambitious, she is doing well in the current series, where the winner will get a huge investment into a business idea from Lord Sugar.
She desires for her business to be nationally recognised and while that is an ambition, national recognition may not be ambitious enough for Lord Sugar to consider her for investment.
