Souleyman plans to be brutally honest, bold and fight for his place by trying to keep Lord Sugar’s attention on him.

Carina says she is a natural leader and that people latch onto her to benefit from the influence she carries.

Lives: West Midlands
Throughout her successful career in recruitment, Scarlett has found her upbeat personality to be a strong asset in winning a business deal, claiming that “people will often buy into her as a person”.

Scarlett plans to apply the same tactic she uses in all aspects of her life; “working the hardest and the smartest to be the best”.

She says: “I’m definitely the epitome of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ because what you see is not what you get.” Lewis EllisAge: 28
Occupation: Digital Marketing Project Manager
Lives: Lancashire
A self-proclaimed “maverick” who doesn’t like to follow the rules, Lewis is confident his competitiveness and determination will see him through the process.  He admits he struggles to hide his true feelings in his facial expressions, and says his confidence is often mistaken for arrogance but says “I don’t think I’m better than anyone else”.
He says: “I may not be the smartest guy in the room, but I’ll sure as hell work harder.” Ryan-Mark ParsonsAge: 19
Occupation: Luxury Womenswear Consultant
Lives: South East London
As the youngest candidate, Ryan-Mark is ready to prove that age is irrelevant when it comes to business, describing himself as “a 60-year-old trapped in a teenager’s body”. He is an award winning public speaker and says Queen Elizabeth II is his role model, admiring her ‘no-nonsense persona’. Despite believing his best asset to be his ability to “forge a connection with anyone” he admits “he’s not afraid to be ruthless when it comes to the other candidates”.
He says: “I am the epitome of luxury.” Riyonn FarsadAge: 30
Occupation: Events Manager
Lives: South London
