Phil Turner and Rachel Woolford have made it through to the final of The Apprentice after a nail-biting semi-final.
However, The Bognor Regis Pie company owner Phil, 37, has shocked viewers at home as he let it slip that the finalists on the show do not find out who has won when filming is over.
Phil took to his Instagram story on Saturday to do a Q&A with his fans and allowed them to ask him any questions.
However, one fan asked: ‘Is it true that you don’t know who’s won when you’ve finished filming the show?’
To which Phil responded with ‘Okay so I’ve had this question loads and loads of times. So, cause it was one of the most frequently asked questions I’ll give it an answer.

‘Is it true you don’t know who’s won? Yes, absolutely.
He continued ‘We don’t know who has won until you guys know. This is pretty common knowledge so I don’t think I’m giving anything away here.
‘So basically there’s two endings filmed. Nobody knows. The only person who knows who has won is Lord Sugar.
‘I assume they just put whoever’s won on the end.
‘We’ll find out who’s won, pretty much at the same time as you guys, which is really exciting’.
Phil and fitness entrepreneur Rachel Woolford will go head to head in next week’s final as they battle to become Lord Sugar’s new business partner and win his £250,000 investment.
It comes after some familiar faces returned on Thursday as the final five candidates met with Lord Sugar’s most trusted advisors as business plans were interrogated, CVs picked apart and white lies exposed as the candidates battled it out to make the final.
And it was Tre, Flo and Paul who sadly fell at the last hurdle, with their business plans being turned down by Lord Sugar.
However, one fan asked: ‘Is it true that you don’t know who’s won when you’ve finished filming the show?’
To which Phil shockingly responded with: ‘Is it true you don’t know who’s won? Yes, absolutely.’ He also revealed ‘So basically there’s two endings filmed. Nobody knows. The only person who knows who has won is Lord Sugar.’
Claude branded Tre’s business plan ‘woefully inadequate’ while Linda highlighted his lack of scientific evidence to back up his ‘testosterone shots.’
Mike then presented Tre with a sample of his shot, based on the ingredients listed and forced him to taste it for the first time.
Phil was accused of deceiving customers by Mike after he said his pie company was established in 1933, despite first being opened in 2012.
Linda then questioned his accounts and said he would have to put his prices up to keep making a profit.
Rachel’s gym plan was slammed by Claude who said she was ‘missing proper numbers’ after she was initially praised by Claudine, with Mike then savagely purchasing the domain names for her gyms before she did.
Both Claude and Linda said Paul had pitched the wrong business in choosing a scrub company, branding it a ‘fairytale.’
Finally, Flo’s recruitment company was found to share a name with an existing company in Norwich and Claudine questioned her staffing numbers.

In the most dramatic boardroom to date, Lord Sugar told music and wellness entrepreneur Tre: ‘Tre, I’ve always said to people in this process that you will learn as you go along, and that includes me. And I have learnt that you are a good bloke.’
However, his personality wasn’t enough for the business tycoon as he added: ‘Your business is not up my alley mate, and so it is with sincere regret, You’re Fired!’
Recruitment consultant Flo was next to go, as Lord Sugar explained: ‘Flo, I think you’ve underestimated the difficulty it’s going to be in starting from scratch.
‘It is going to be hard, and I’m leaning towards Flo saying I’m going to have to let you go. Sorry about that. And I do wish you very, very well. But Flo, You’re Fired.’
Finally, Dental Group owner Paul also missed out on the chance to be Lord Sugar’s business partner, as he became the final candidate to face the firing line.
‘Paul, I wish you well. But unfortunately, because you are not willing to share the whole business with me, I’m afraid to say with great respect, You’re Fired’, concluded Lord Sugar.
The Apprentice final episode will air on Thursday 18th April on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
