Watch the moment The Apprentice contestant makes shock return to show – a year after being fired
A CONTESTANT of the hit reality show The Apprentice makes a shock return to the show.
Tre Lowe is a wellness entrepreneur and one half of Architechs, a British garage band who had a hit song that reached number three in the UK singles chart.
Last year he appeared as a contestant on the reality business show The Apprentice and made it to the final five candidates.
But in a recent Instagram post he shocked his host of followers by announcing he was going back in!
Tre posted a video showing him at the keyboards alongside this year’s candidates as they attempted to make a hit song.
The video was captioned: “Buzzing for this episode! This time last year, I was in the boardroom as a contestant.
“Now I’m back mentoring the next wave of entrepreneurs, showing them how to craft a hit song and step up under pressure.
“What makes this moment even more special? Doing it in the year of the 25th anniversary of Body Groove, a track that changed everything for me.
“To come full circle, sharing my music knowledge and mentoring these candidates as they navigate the competition, is an absolute privilege.
“But this isn’t just about music, it’s about resilience, creativity, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
“Whether it’s crafting a song or building a business, success comes down to vision, execution, and belief.”
Tre concluded by stating: “Can’t wait to watch this on Thursday at 9PM on BBC One. Who’s tuning in?#TheApprentice #Mentorship #MusicBusiness #BodyGroove25 #EntrepreneurMindset.”
Fans rushed to respond to the post and share their good wishes. One stated: ” Very much looking forward to this!”
A second stated: “Congrats on going back!”
“Ayyyy can’t wait for next week” said another.
One more fan exclaimed: “You’re going to be making an appearance? It was clear you were one of the smartest, business savvy and decent and humble candidates ever.
The Apprentice biggest moments
THE Apprentice has been a fan favourite ever since it burst onto the box in 2005.
Here we take a look at five of the biggest moments over the years on the hit BBC One show.
Tim Campbell – Former London Underground transport manager Tim Campbell won the first series of the reality show in 2005. He is now one of Lord Sugar’s aides on the show.
Sarah Lynn and James White – For the first and only time in the show’s history, both finalists were crowned winners in 2017.
Amy Anzel – Season 16’s fired candidate Amy Anzel was BANNED from the final celebration show, after a tit-for-tat exchange over Lord Sugar’s mocking tweets.
Michelle Dewberry – Telecoms consultant Michelle Dewberry won the second series of the show in 2006. However, after winning a six-figure job with Lord Sugar she lasted just four months before she sensationally quit.
Selena Waterman-Smith – We’re used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time – into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain.
“It was clear you impressed Sugar, Brady and Campbell even from an early stage. That takes some doing. Not surprised Alan wanted you back!”
Fellow Apprentice Contestant and Music Director Virdi Mazaria joked: “I wish we had this task on our season! Just maybe it would’ve been one I wouldn’t have lost.”
However, last year’s Apprentice fans were utterly stunned by Tre’s rich musical past.
In one fiercely fought challenge, his opposing team used the song Body Groove by the garage group, Architechs as their music.
Of course, Tre was in the group and it was one of his songs, so he joked he would earn royalties from the use of the track.
Fans could not believe what they were watching as they took to social media in utter shock.
“Tre collecting his royalties from the other teams advert #TheApprentice”, jokingly noted one user.
As a second exclaimed: “Was today years old when I found out that Tre was part of the UK garage group Architects, and made the banger Body Groove feat Nana and also the awesome remix of Brandy & Monica’s The Boy is Mine. #TheApprentice.”
Whilst a third viewer gushed: “A win, and your song gets on national TV! What a week for Tre Lowe #TheApprentice”
A fourth excitedly posted: “HOW DID I NOT KNOW BEFORE NOW THAT TRE FROM #TheApprentice RELEASED ICONIC 00s GARAGE JAM ‘BODY GROOVE’?!!!!”
The Apprentice airs on BBC1 and is available to stream on BBCIplayer.
