The Apprentice is returning to our screens tonight and there are two Leicestershire candidates that you need to look out for.

Robert Goodwin and Lindsay Booth are among 20 hopefuls who will be competing for the chance to become Lord Sugar's next apprentice.

The Mercury has put together a fact file on both candidates with all the information you need before tonight's show.*

First up, is 25-year-old Robert Goodwin, a former Dixie Grammar School student.

Currently lives: London

Current job: Marketing Manager

First job: Robert's first job was at the age of 15, working in his uncle's art shop.

Worst business skill: Getting up late for work and getting bored easily - if he doesn't like a job after a year, he will move on.

Worst personal qualities: Can be quite disorganised and can be quite direct, which can sometimes come across as rude.

Three words to describe himself: "Fearless, ambitious and lucky"

Best audition tape quote: "My absolute nightmare is settling down on £50,000 a year, with a four-year-old Toyota, in some village in the middle of nowhere."

Tips on succeeding in the business industry: Be confident but not overly-confident and have an ego but don't have an 'ego-overdrive'.

The second hopeful from the county is 30-year-old swimming teacher, Lindsay Booth.

Currently lives: Leicestershire

Current job: Owner of her own swimming teaching business

First job: Swimming teacher

Best business skill: Ability to listen and recall important information

What angers her mostChauvinistic men and women being dismissed before being able to get their point across.

Why should she win: "I believe Lord Sugar wants me as his business partner because I have the drive and determination and the ambition that he once had years ago when he first started out."

Best audition tape quote: "I have fire inside of me that keeps me going and I will never go out."

The first episode of this series will be shown tonight at 9pm on BBC1.
