Nick Hewer has made his final appearance on The Apprentice.
Tributes to Lord Sugar's long-time adviser were paid during tonight's final (December 21).
The Apprentice: Oh, Nick Hewer, we're going to miss you
Speaking on the after-show, Lord Sugar said: "It is with a heavy heart that I have got to say that Nick is not going to be my assistant in any future series of The Apprentice."
Lord Sugar continued: "He's reached the ripe old age of 70… he wants to hang up his shoes.
"It's a sad moment for me. I know when we do the next series, I'll be looking in that direction [to the left] and I know he's not going to be there."
Lord Sugar added: "I thank him dearly for all the help and the assistance that he's given me in the last ten years."
Although Hewer is currently suffering from Laryngitis, he managed to say: "Thank you,...

Fired Apprentice candidate Daniel Lassman has hit back at his show rivals, claiming that their attacks on him reveal "a lack of maturity".
Lassman has been under fire on the show from fellow candidates, with quarter-finalist Sanjay Sood-Smith unleashing the strongest attack on him.
Last week, Sood-Smith told Digital Spy that Lassman was "even worse in real life" than on the show and said he was "distraught" to leave before him.
Responding to his critics, Lassman told us: "I think there are a couple of people out there who weren't on the show for the right reasons. A couple of people said things about me to grab a bit more press and coverage and profile building.
"To stoop to that level, I don't need to. I feel like I've learnt and taken a lot from the show, so I don't need to get involved in that.
"It's disappointing, but I...

Fired Apprentice candidate Sanjay Sood-Smith has revealed to Digital Spy that he has suffered homophobic abuse online during his time on the reality show.
Former banker Sood-Smith, who was fired by Lord Alan Sugar in this week's quarter-final, said that attitudes still needed changing when it comes to gay people in business.
"I'm going to do is some work with Stonewall, the gay charity, doing some talks in schools about coming out and being gay in business," said the 27-year-old.
"It's certainly a lot easier than 10 years ago when I came out, but since The Apprentice came on air, I've been getting homophobic tweets and people saying homophobic things about me."
He added: "Even in the house on the show, nobody was homophobic, but there were outdated attitudes. When we went around the house, everyone asked, 'Sanjay, do you have a wife or girlfriend?'
"I was fine with it because I'm comfortable with it,...

Fired Apprentice candidate Sanjay Sood-Smith has accused Bianca Miller of playing games on the BBC reality show and using negative tactics to survive.

"Bianca is a very intelligent, smart lady, but in the process, she's played a bit of a game," said Sood-Smith.
"I think she tried to put other people down. She plays on other people's negatives and failings, not saying it to them and then bringing it up in the boardroom. In the last couple of weeks, she's come out looking good by putting other people down.
"She highlights people's flaws rather than talking about herself."

Sanjay Sood-Smith and Katie Bulmer-Cooke have reacted to being fired from The Apprentice in tonight's double elimination (December 10).
The contestants spoke to Dara Ó Briain on The Apprentice: You're Fired about their experiences on the reality business show.
The Apprentice review: Premium puddings that leave a bad taste
Sood-Smith said of being back in the boardroom: "Out of the three of us, I thought 'If anyone is on shaky ground here it's going to be me'."
Speaking about the design, he recalled that at one point the team "actually genuinely thought this was the best brand ever created".
He went on to say that he knew he lost when he walked into the boardroom and saw the other team's branding.
Discussing the product design, he said that the idea was to "take something different and do something different with it. The gingham was the classic and the splodges were the difference.

The Apprentice lost two more candidates tonight as Katie Bulmer-Cooke and Sanjay Sood-Smith were both fired by Lord Sugar.
The boss took the opportunity to whittle down the remaining hopefuls from seven to five after a premium puddings task, in which the two teams had to create and pitch new desserts to supermarkets.
Bulmer-Cooke - whose business plan involved opening a healthy restaurant - was the project manager for Team Tenacity and managed to shift 13,500 units of her unusually-flavoured trifles to Asda.
However, she lost out after Team Summit - led by project manager Roisin Hogan, whose business plan involves selling ready meals - won an order of 5,500 of her tea-flavoured cheesecakes from Waitrose and a further 20,000 from Tesco.
With just Bulmer-Cooke, Sood-Smith and Mark Wright left in Tenacity, all three of them were forced to return to the Boardroom and they all seemed in danger at various points.

Felipe Alviar-Baquero became the 13th candidate to be fired from The Apprentice tonight after his attempt to show initiative went badly wrong.
The two teams were given the classic task of buying a series of items but Lord Sugar was furious when lawyer Alviar-Baquero bought a paper skeleton instead of an upright version.
Although the paper version fit the specifications outlined by Lord Sugar, he fined Team Tenacity £310 which resulted in them failing the task.
Team Tenacity's project manager Daniel Lassman - who was forced to return to the Boardroom for the fourth time this series - chose to bring back Alviar-Baquero and Katie Bulmer-Cooke, allowing Mark Wright to return to the house in safety.
Although Lord Sugar did question whether Bulmer-Cooke has more to offer than just "common sense", he announced that he was going to keep her around this week, leaving just Lassman and Alviar-Baquero in danger.

The Apprentice candidate James Hill was fired by Lord Sugar after a shambolic performance as project manager for Team Summit in tonight's episode.
The nine remaining hopefuls had been tasked with selling products at the Royal Bath and West Show, but Hill ignored his team's advice about which products to sell, lost the opportunity to sell hot tubs after getting their owner's name wrong - and then lied about it - and argued with Roisin Hogan.
When Hogan advised him to tell the truth about losing the hot tubs, he replied: "That might be your advice, but what do I want to do? Today, it's important what I want to do, isn't it?"
Ultimately, losing the hot tubs to Team Tenacity - led by Felipe Alviar-Baquero - proved to be a disastrous outcome as in the Boardroom it emerged that Summit had made £4,757.50 while Tenacity had racked up sales of £30,115.25 after shifting ten jacuzzis.
