In last night’s episode, the aspiring entrepreneurs, who are split into two teams competing with one another, were asked to plan and manage a VIP event for for Travelzoo at Wembley Football Stadium on the day of the Women’s FA Cup final.

Nicola Gibson, head of local and entertainment at Travelzoo in the UK, said: "Last year we started working within our industry to host exclusive member events in the UK, including a theatre buyout of ‘Motown the Musical’ in London, an after-hours tour of Bombay Sapphire’s Hampshire distillery, and a takeover of Michelin-starred Restaurant James Sommerin in Penarth.

"It was good to see the apprentices’ approach to organising a high-end function."
