Bill Cullen's 'The Apprentice' will not be returning for a fifth series this year, TV3 have announced.

IT may be considered by some to have lost its allure, but TV3 show The Apprentice has seen its audience numbers rocket by more than 100,000 in a single year.

THE winner of the 2009 series, Skibbereen-based Steve Rayner is still working with Bill Cullen after being effectively given a chance to continue rebuilding his life by the show.

SAOIRSE Ronan stared blankly when asked if she compared the IFTAs to the Oscars.

The winner of the TV3 show 'The Apprentice' has described his victory as "good Karma".
