Jersey's castles and coastlines will feature heavily in next week's episode of 'The Apprentice' as the 15 remaining candidates embark on a island-inspired treasure hunt.
Aside from attempting to find the cheapest local items, the candidates will also have to navigate around a roadblock of Jersey cows – also known as “logistics” – and try to beat the tide at Corbière Lighthouse.
The most recent episode of The Apprentice ended with a preview of billionaire boss Lord Alan Sugar's next task for his candidates: a trip to "the largest of the Channels Islands" for the famous discount-buying challenge.
He said: "Jersey may be a small island, but it adds an impressive £14 billion to the UK economy every year."
Candidates will have to source nine items associated with the island, such as a shackle and surfboard – and the team that secures the most items at the lowest prices, wins.
One of the candidates exclaimed: "Treasure hunt on an island – what more could you want!"

A sneak peak which aired after the episode showed the candidates haggling for a shackle in Quay.je in St Helier Marina, and teased tense debates about who would be project manager in a medieval chamber in Mont Orgeuil Castle.
On social media, Visit Jersey encouraged islanders to "stay tuned" for next week's episode while Robert Mackenzie, managing director of C. I. Travel Group said: "This is going to be unmissable."
