Sir Alan's search for apprentice comes to Wiltshire
The apprentice helicopter over Bowood
The apprentice helicopter over Bowood

Sir Alan Sugar's Apprentice team flew into Bowood yesterday as filming takes place for series four of the series.

Bowood Estate has remained tight lipped on its use as a location for the show but a helicopter flew into the estate yesterday morning.

It is believed eight contestants came to Bowood as a treat after winning a mystery task.

The star of the show Sir Alan Sugar did not make an appearance but it is believed all eight hopefuls had a great time without the multi millionaire.

Bowood Staff gave the eight hopefuls a taste of the executive high life as they served the group of contestants food and drinks on the grounds.

Then the contestants let off some steam as they were filmed racing around the grounds in golf buggies.

It is thought the contestants played archery and toured the grounds of Bowood. Members of the public were not allowed to go into some areas as the BBC cordoned off the Boat House for filming.

It is believed filming for the new series started in London in September with sixteen new candidates.

The hungry hopefuls battle it out for a six-figure job with famous entrepreneur Sir Alan Sugar.

Every week the two teams are set tasks and the team who generate the most money get sent on a luxury treat. But one member of the losing team is sent home with the damning catchphrase You're Fired.

A spokesman for Bowood denied any filming had taken place.The BBC havs yet to comment.

Simon Ambrose was the winner of series three of the show which finds the computer company boss a new employee but it was nasty Katie Hopkins who stole all the headlines for her ruthless tactics inside and outside the boardroom.

The new series will not be aired for a number of months but the arrival in Wiltshire shows filming is well underway.
