A SNEAK preview of tonight's episode of The Apprentice shows Worcestershire contestant Joe Phillips looking stressed.

Lord Alan Sugar's candidates were sent to Brighton to complete a scavenger hunt task on the BBC show.

The teams have to race against the clock to secure selected items at bargain prices. 

Although we'll have to wait to see how the candidates did, Lord Sugar describes the task as "organised chaos". 

And despite looking quite nervous in the boardroom, Mr Phillips said the latest episode is his favourite Apprentice task.

On Instagram, he wrote: "We're off to Brighton!! 

"It's one of my favourite Apprentice tasks! The scavenger hunt!

"Who will get the best deal and who will get the boot? 

"Find our 9pm, Thursday, BBC1".

Who is Joseph Phillips from Worcestershire

Mr Phillips, from Blackwell, Bromsgrove, made a good first impression when he led his team to victory in a task in Antigua selling a bespoke tour to holidaymakers in the area.

The former Bromsgrove School pupil calls himself the 'James Bond of the business world', something which Lord Sugar has teased him about on the series. 

But according to the bookies, Mr Phillips is among one of the favourites to win the entire show.

If Mr Phillips does win, he will secure £250,000 investment in the 17th series of the popular BBC reality show.

Mr Phillips, a former Bromsgrove School pupil, has dyslexia but Lord Sugar doesn’t expect this to hold him back.

“My good friend Richard Branson openly admits that he is dyslexic – hasn’t held him back at all, has it?” Lord Sugar told the PA news agency.

Joe, from Blackwell, studied Zoology at the University of Exeter before becoming a safari guide in South Africa.

He says his dyslexia is the “driving force” for him to succeed and prove his capabilities.

“It’s made me fight harder to keep up with everyone else,” he added.

“Then when I finally caught up, it wasn’t enough, I needed to go past them to prove to people that, yes, you can have dyslexia, but you can still succeed in whatever you want to do.”
