The Apprentice (British TV series) series 6

The sixth series of British reality television series The Apprentice was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 6 October to 19 December 2010. Due to the 2010 General Election, which Alan Sugar had political ties with following his appointment as a Lord within the House of Lords, the BBC postponed the series' broadcast until autumn of that year to preserve the broadcaster's strict political impartiality rules.

The sixth series was the last to offer a six-figure job as a prize (later becoming a £250,000 business investment). It is also the first series to feature Karren Brady in the role of Sugar's aide (having replaced Margaret Mountford), after an initial appearance in this role for the first series of Young Apprentice; Mountford retained a role within series 6 as an interviewer in the Interviews stage. Alongside the standard twelve episodes, two specials were aired alongside this series – "The Final Five" on 9 December; and "Why I Fired Them" on 16 December.

Sixteen candidates took part in the sixth series, with Stella English winning the competition. However, after describing her winning role in Lord Sugar's employ as being no more than an "overpaid lackey", significant changes were made to the prize in later series. Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 7.87 million viewers during its broadcast.
