Scottish star of The Apprentice hails final four candidates ahead of tonight's interview episode

The Scottish star of BBC's The Apprentice has been telling Kingdom FM in an interview of his praise for the final four candidates being interviewed in tonight's episode.

Mike Soutar says that the candidates are "battle hardened" by this stage of the process, one that he has described as "exhausting".

He was one of the aides on last week's episode, standing in temporarily for Tim Campbell.

But in this evening's episode of the hit show, Mike, who attended school in Fife, will be asking tough questions to the candidates in the interviews episode.

Anas Hassan had a chat with him in the video above ahead of the broadcast of the episode later.
