The Apprentice viewers were fuming with the final result
WARNING: SPOILERS!
Last updated 18th Dec 2017
After 12 weeks of popular TV show The Apprentice, the final took place last night, but viewers were left fuming at the result.
Warning: The following story contains major spoilers.
35-year-old Sarah Lynn and 26-year-old James White made it into the final after seeing off 16 other candidates including Michaela Wain, Elizabeth McKenna and Joanna Jarjue.
But what happened in the 2017 final really didn't impress viewers. Instead of choosing one finalist to be his business partner, Lord Alan Sugar left everybody in shock by making both finalists the winners.
For the first time in the show's history, Sugar revealed he "genuinely couldn't decide" and told them, "This particular year, I'm going to double my investment. I'm going to start a business with both of you."
As a result of his decision, both Sarah and James will receive a £250,000 business investment and 50/50 partnership with Lord Sugar.
After the decision was made, viewers quickly took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the result:
Speaking about his decision, Lord Sugar said, "Deciding on a winner was the most difficult decision I have had to make in all 13 series of The Apprentice to date.
"James and Sarah were extremely impressive and their proposed business plans were very different but equally strong.
"I genuinely couldn't decide between them, so after deliberating long and hard, I decided to stump up £500,000 and invest in them both."
Sarah and James join previous winners including Tom Pellereau, Alana Spencer and Mark Wright. Sarah will work on her sweet business, whilst James will be running an IT recruitment business.
Congratulations to the Sarah and James!
The Apprentice is expected to return to our TV screens in 2018.
