Would one of Phil’s cakes catch your eye?

It seems Rachel’s logo has her team asking questions as they wonder if it’s more like a construction company… instead of a gym.

Raj and Virdi collided while filming Phil’s cake advert.

Fans don’t seem to be convinced with the Phil brand logo.

Even Karen Brady was skeptical, describing it as “cartoonish” and not conveying the premium look she was hoping for.

After looking at a few names, Rachel decided on Studio Build.

The finalists have chosen their teams as their fellow contestants return for the final.

On team Phil we have: Paul, Virdi, Foluso, Raj and Paul.

And on Team Rachel are: Sam, Claire, Tre, Maura and Steve!

It has been a brilliant series as 18 new candidates compete for Lord Alan Sugar’s attentions and investments.

From UK Garage artist Tre Lowe to pre- and post-natal fitness trainer Sarah Saadet, two cake company owners and yoga teacher Maura Rath, this series has had it all.

And now it all comes down to the final two!

Phil shocked viewers at home when he let slip that the show’s finalists don’t find out who won when filming ends.

During a Q&A on Instagram, a fan asked, “Is it true that you don’t know who won when you finish filming the show?”

To which Phil responded with ‘Yes, absolutely’ and revealed that they will be filming TWO endings for the show.

As the process comes to a close at 9pm tonight, who will receive ‘You’re Hired!’ by Lord Sugar.

Only 30 minutes left until business plans are developed!

Rachel, a keen marathon runner, aims to outdo Phil during the show’s final with her gym, which offers clients a range of classes from reformer Pilates to yoga.

His ambition is to franchise his gym brand in the north of England.

Rachel has demonstrated her dedication to fitness by running marathons, completing events in places such as New York, Chicago and Berlin, as well as climbing Kilimanjaro.

Father-of-two Phil could have a disastrous record after missing eight out of 10 tasks during the series.

However, she hopes to win over Lord Sugar with her Sussex-based bakeries, after saying her “biggest inspiration” in life is her working parents.

Phil explained during his interview with Claudine Collins that his parents are his biggest inspiration.

Fighting back tears, she said, “I definitely think my mom and dad are my biggest inspirations.”

‘Being there, in close surroundings, working day in and day out for them for a few years, I began to really appreciate how much work they had done and how much they had scarred.
