The Apprentice viewers "worried" for fan favourite contestant
Luckily, Lord Sugar fired two other candidates.
www.digitalspy.comHere’s the latest I can confirm about Karishma Vijay (The Apprentice) based on public reports up to May 2026.
- Winner and engagement: Karishma Vijay reportedly won The Apprentice UK Series 20 and subsequently announced her engagement, sharing moments from a beach proposal captioned “Hardest soft launch” on social media. This engagement news surfaced around mid-April 2026, coinciding with the show’s finale coverage.[2][4]
- Finale and investment: The season concluded with Karishma securing Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment to develop Kishkin, her skincare-infused beauty brand. This aligns with post-show press and follow-up interviews in April 2026.[4][8]
- Public reaction and media coverage: After her win and engagement, multiple outlets highlighted her journey from challenges early in the show to competitive success, and she has appeared in subsequent media pieces (ITV, Digital Spy, Mirror) discussing her experience and plans.[3][8][4]
- Personal background and brand: Karishma’s Kishkin brand has been a focus of coverage, with discussions about growth, stock challenges, and her approach to combining social media presence with business leadership.[7][4]
