TV ratings: Apprentice final attracts show's highest audience




The final of The Apprentice attracted nearly 9 million viewers on BBC1 last night, June 11 – the show's best ever figures.

Between 9pm and 10pm, an average audience of 8.9 million viewers watched the final four candidates battle it out to become Sir Alan Sugar's apprentice. And the BBC1 show peaked at 9.7 million viewers in the final quarter hour as Sir Alan uttered the words, "You're hired" to his chosen candidate.

The previous record high for The Apprentice was 7.5 million viewers for last week's show.
Last year's final, when Simon Ambrose was hired, was up against ITV's juggernaut Britain's Got Talent and drew an average of 6.8 million viewers.
