The Apprentice (British TV series) series 7

The seventh series of British reality television series The Apprentice was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 10 May to 17 July 2011. Due to a qualifying match for the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League set to be aired live on 20 July, the final episode was given an earlier broadcast date to avoid schedule clashing.

After six years of offering a six-figure job as a prize, this series was the first to offer a £250,000 business investment. The change in prize led to a revamp of the series format, with the Interviews stage being the final task, rather than the usual business task. The interviews were also extended to include a scrutiny of each candidate's business plans. Alongside the standard twelve episodes, with the first two airing on consecutive days, two specials were aired alongside this series – "The Final Five" on 7 July; and a series exclusive, "How to Get Hired" on 15 July.

Of the sixteen candidates who took part, Tom Pellereau was crowned the series' winner. Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 8.80 million viewers during its broadcast, and is the most watched series of The Apprentice to date.
