The tenth series of British reality television series The Apprentice was broadcast in the UK on BBC One from 14 October to 21 December 2014. Due to live coverage in summer of that year for both the FIFA World Cup and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the BBC postponed the series' broadcast until autumn to avoid schedule clashing. It is the last series to feature Nick Hewer as Alan Sugar's aide, who left the programme following the series finale. Ricky Martin, winner of the eighth series, appears as an interviewer in the Interviews Stage.
Alongside the standard twelve episodes, with the first two airing on consecutive days, the series featured two specials before its premiere – "Meet the Candidates", made available online only on 7 October; and "Ten Years of The Apprentice" on 13 October. Later in the series, two further specials also aired – "The Final Five" on 16 December; and "Why I Fired Them" on 18 December.
This series featured twenty candidates, the highest number of any variation of The Apprentice globally, with Mark Wright becoming the overall winner. Excluding specials, the series averaged around 7.40 million viewers during its broadcast.
