Megan Hornby remains favourite to win this year's series of The Apprentice ahead of this week's Dog Food task
This year's series of The Apprentice is nearing Lord Sugar's hiring stage and Megan Hornby remains the favourite to win the show according to our betting industry insider.
Hornby has continued to impress throughout this year's series and has been the outright favourite for the last few weeks to be hired by Lord Sugar.
The latest betting odds say there's a 30% chance of Hornby winning The Apprentice this year just ahead of Dani Donovan in the market.
| Winning Candidate | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|

Simba Rwambiwa remains the last male contestant in the show
With the final task on the way this week, Simba Rwambiwa remains the final male contestant on the show this year after last week's double firing.
Lord Sugar decided to fire both Bradley Johnson and Avi Sharma from the famous boardroom after Johnson's losing run as project manager and Sharma's begging retailers for orders.
Rwambiwa is now the last male contestant in the show this year and his latest odds suggest there's a 20% chance of him winning the show this year.

Who is market leader Megan Hornby?
Megan Hornby hails from East Yorkshire and is the current owner of a sweet shop by the name of Club Candy in Hull.
Whilst Megan claims to be overly-ambitious, she is doing well in the current series, where the winner will get a huge investment into a business idea from Lord Sugar.
She desires for her business to be nationally recognised and while that is an ambition, national recognition may not be ambitious enough for Lord Sugar to consider her for investment.
