Where to buy Apprentice finalist Anisa Khan's Bombay Pizza ahead of tonight's finale
Hoping to go all the way in tonight's finale is Sutton-based Anisa Khan, who has to be one of this series' biggest losers, having only been on the winning team twice this series. But having reached the final, she's hoping to tempt Lord Sugar with her South Asian-inspired pizzas.
Tonight, Anisa's pizzas will go up against Dean Franklin's London and Essex-based air conditioning business in the final task of the series. Both candidates, who have existing businesses already, will re-launch and brand their business with a digital billboard and TV ad, and will be grilled by industry professionals.
But will the entrepreneur's fusion pizza get Lord Sugar smacking his lips? Here's everything you need to know about Anisa's Bombay Pizza business and how you can try a slice for yourself.
Anisa has been operating Bombay Pizza out of a dark kitchen in Wallington, Sutton since 2020, creating a selection of hand-crafted pizzas with a South Asian twist. Serving up a huge range of fusion pizzas – all 12in in size – Bombay Pizza's selection includes everything from the fiery 'chilli paneer', made with sautéed chilli paneer, red onions, peppers, mozzarella and fresh chillies on a spicy masala base, to the rich and indulgent 'CTM', which combines tender tandoor-grilled chicken tikka with creamy masala sauce, red onions, mozzarella and fresh coriander.
Meat lovers can opt for Khan's 'keema special', topped with lamb keema, peas and masala spices, or go all-in with the 'Bombay meat feast', which throws halal pepperoni, sausage and spiced keema into the mix. For something plant-based, the 'vegan Bombay brinjal' features roasted aubergine, mushrooms and spinach sautéed in aromatic spices on a marinara base. It looks like a mash-up of traditional Italian technique and bold desi flavours.
Bombay Pizza also serves a range of sides – from jumbo tandoori wings and cheesy masala fries to chilli cheese bites and onion bhajis – as well as fresh salads, high-protein options and desserts like Nutella-filled samosas and kulfi lollies.
Right now, due to high demand, Bombay Pizza is only taking in-person orders – so if you want a slice, you'll need to head down to Sutton yourself. And if that's a bit too far, you'll be pleased to hear that last month Anisa launched Bombay Pizza by Post, a nationwide delivery service. All postal orders have already sold out, but you can sign up to the mailing list to be the first to know when they're back in stock.
In a cute twist, Anisa has also launched a special run of Apprentice -inspired pizzas on the Bombay Pizza by Post site, each one named after one of the final five contestants. 'The Jordan' features a BBQ base with Bombay aloo, red onions and mozzarella; 'The Dean' has a spicy masala base topped with chicken madras, mozzarella and chillies; 'The Chisora' pairs butter chicken with BBQ sauce, sweetcorn, peppers and mozzarella; 'The Amber-Rose' combines an Italian marinara base with chicken tikka, peppers, sweetcorn, olives and cheese; and finally, The Anisa brings the heat with Bengali chicken naga, peppers, red onions and mozzarella on a spicy masala base.

I was embroiled in Towie fakery row after bosses asked me to sleep with Mark Wright – when I said no they cut me out
FANS have long speculated about just how real reality TV actually is. But as The Only Way is Essex, one of the OG fly on the wall shows, turns 15, a former castmember has dropped a fakery bombshell so incendiary, it could blow up the whole show. 14 14 14 This time the claims have spilled from one-time Sugar Hut barmaid Candy - remember her? Well, one fan of the original reality series did and posted an appeal on TikTok asking if anyone knew where she and her pint-pulling pal Michael had gone. Vanished without a trace The pair were part of the OG cast in series one, back in 2010, before mysteriously vanishing without a trace when the show returned for a second series. Since then, they have both disappeared from the spotlight and are almost impossible to find on social media. But after the Towie superfan's TikTok appeal, Candy surprisingly emerged from the showbiz abyss and replied to the video - and she didn't hold back. Candy commented: 'Gosh, where to start? Michael and I were and still are best friends so that was real.' So far, so good. Bed Mark... or move on Using initials that could indicate Mark Wright and Harry Derbidge, she went on: 'However we never worked at the SH [Sugar Hut]. 'The producers told us that unless I slept with MW [Mark Wright] and Mikey fake a romance with HD [Harry Derbridge], they would find it hard to place us. 'We didn't want to discredit ourselves by faking storylines. So, they phased us out.' Towie in 'fake' row as fans left cringing over huge mistake in dramatic final scenes - did you spot it- On her decision to leave, Candy went on: 'Some would say [it was] stupid. We say honourable. No hate though. We have happy lives. Not everyone wants to be famous.' When approached about Candy's claims, an ITV spokesperson said: 'Towie has always followed real people and their real lives, and we're grateful to the cast for sharing their lives and their emotions with our audiences over 15 years.' Indeed, this isn't the first time reps for the network have had to defend the show against accusations of the series being one big set-up. Every time a cast member leaves the ITV2 long-runner, they take a bash at the lack of realism. 14 14 Italian Stallion Mario Falcone caused a stir back in 2013 when he claimed soap operas were more authentic than the Essex saga. It came at a time when he was accused of cheating on fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh with Sugar Hut babe Amy Broadbent. Mario blasted the show on Twitter, writing: "The producers are still lying to you all... Coronation street is more reality than Towie!" "Me and Little Chris set up our argument in the first episode [of the new series], producers knew but still put it in - all very scripted!" Original star Amy Childs is now back on the series but hasn't held back over the years. She said in 2016: "When I was on the show, you didn't know who would be coming on or what would happen, but now they all know exactly what's coming up. "At the beginning, it was a new show and it was exciting. "But I don't really know many of the people on the show now - the drama feels a bit planned and staged." Lauren's fake rows with Mark Wright Similarly, Lauren Goodger - who left the show in 2012 but has returned for several guests stints since before a permanent comeback in 2025 - admitted aspects of her on-screen rollercoaster romance with Mark Wright were fake. She told Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast that when Mark was seen with other girls on the show, it was purely for the storyline. "He would arrive with another girl [on camera] but really he has arrived with me," she explained, adding that they would row during filming and then "go home and have tea and biscuits". She continued: "[Mark] wasn't a bad boy, that's just how they [The Only Way Is Essex] portrayed him. "What is quite hard is that yes, there were difficult times and I'm not saying it wasn't hard but it wasn't all bad from him. "He was a good person and a good partner but they say 'he treated you terribly' - that was just for the show." Towie is categorised as "structured reality" and producers have never tried to argue the action was pure fly-on-the-wall. But just how deep does the fakery go? Just last November fans spotted a clue a huge row was faked. Junair Ahmed was seen making a call to his best mate Dani Imbert following his break-up with Harry Derbidge. Dani then called Elma Pazar, who rang Saffron Lempriere, who then called Harry - but the phone was picked up by Amy Childs. Fans were quick to spot that some of the Towie stars weren't actually on the phone. Camera clue They noticed that Elma's iPhone was displaying the lock screen, while the camera was clearly open when Amy was on the call. There was another clanger in 2016 when fans spotted the cast staged a scene on a night out in Marbella - all dancing in complete silence. Taking to Instagram to post the video, the fan in question captioned it: 'Cannot believe Towie isn't real and all staged'. One thing for sure is the power of Towie's 'bump ins'. These are the meetings between two parties that producers set up - but they swear what then ensues is real. We didn't want to discredit ourselves by faking storylines. So, they phased us out Candy Chloe Sims explained: 'They'll just say to you, 'Look, we're rolling, you're walking, you're gonna bump into him and whatever happens happens.' 14 James Lock has thrown a little more light on the process: 'Obviously it's not a fly on the wall documentary, they don't follow us around. "When we bump into somebody, like if I had a problem with you and bumped into you, they are not there 24/7 to catch that argument. "So you have to relive that argument, and by the time you've relived it, you don't always feel the same. "So you are sort of semi-acting in that environment." Secret rivalries Perhaps the real truth comes from a voice behind Towie's fiction - one of the storyline writers. They hinted that cast demanded increasingly dramatic scenes to boost their airtime and media career - with some even seeking out relationships that would help their cause. The mole told the Daily Star: "There was a constant competition for air time. The characters really did not need much manipulation because they are all very media-savvy. "They allow the show to make stories out of their relationship, then they get more scenes which therefore will have a large effect on their status outside of the show. "Of course that meant that some of them would actively seek relationships for more air time." Cast member Danielle Armstrong is sick of people questioning the show's integrity, though. During an appearance on Vicky Pattison's The Secret To podcast, she said: 'The biggest question… I had was, 'Is it real? Is it real?' The producers are still lying to you all... Coronation street is more reality than Towie! Mario Falcone 'That used to infuriate me because I'd think, 'Do you actually think I can act? Did you not see me crying every Sunday and Wednesday on ITV?' We definitely can't act. 'Well, some I'm sure can, but I definitely couldn't and it was all so real.' Pete Wick s said, simply: 'It's never been scripted, babe. Never.' One thing that is definitely scripted, though, is Denise Van Outen 's famous intro to the show, in which she trills: 'The tans you see might be fake, but the people are all real… although some of what they do has been set up purely for your entertainment.' It's probably the realest thing on there. 14 14 14 TOWIE RICH LIST Whether Towie is real or fake, one thing that's certainly genuine article is the cast's bulging bank balances. Here who has banked the most over the last 15 years.... Mark Wright: £15million Thanks to his fitness business, TV work, book deals and lucrative social media sponsorships - plus a property worth £3.5 million, Mark is seriously loaded. Wife Michelle's has also banked millions thanks to Netflix shows and Very deals, making them a megarich power couple. Samantha Faiers: £9million Sam first made a killing with a clothing line, babywear collection and even a home furnishings line after leaving the show. She has also had a Sunday Times bestselling book and money-spinning ITV spin-offs but her biggest income has come from her Revive Collagen brand, which is even stocked Stateside. Joey Essex: £8million He's been on every reality show going, from I'm A Celeb to Dancing on Ice and Love Island, and Joey is laughing all the way to the bank. As well as investing in properties, Joey has made six-figure sums by endorsing McDonalds, Jaffa Cakes and even soup - and once released a song called Reem. Gemma Collins: £7million The 42-year-old former car dealer runs her own fashion empire, had a range with Boohoo and is renowned for landing big brand deals. The 'meme queen' even popped up on Orange is the New Black and has even been the face of an airline. She's fronted her own show Diva Forever and presented on Loose Women and This Morning over the years since Towie. Amy Chillds: £5million Amy signed up to Katie Price's former manager when she was first on the show and she helped her haul in some serious cash. A beauty salon, endorsement deals, a weekly magazine column, a fitness DVD and an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother all helped make Amy a wealthy lady and she wisely invested a lot of in in property.

Catfish fans rejoice as beloved reality series finds new home after MTV UK axe
The hit show has a new home for viewers in the UK Fans of Catfish: The TV show can now stream the hit reality series for free as it has just landed a brand new streaming home. First aired in 2012 on MTV, the reality series sees friends and co-hosts Nev Shulman and Max Joseph helps people who have fallen in love online meet their partners in real life. The goal is to answer the all-important question of whether the person they've connected with is actually who they say they are. The series was born out of the 2010 documentary film Catfish, starring Nev, which followed him as he built a relationship online with a woman named 'Angela' before discovering months on that she was not as she first appeared. It was directed by Nev's brother Ariel Shulman and Henry Joost. There have now been nine seasons of the main Catfish show, with multiple spin-offs including a UK-based version fronted by Oobah Butler and Nella Rose, although it failed to impress and was cancelled after three seasons. Other Catfish-inspired series include Catfish: Trolls, which tackles anonymous internet bullies, and Ghosted: Love Gone Missing, which helps reunite individuals with people who totally cut off contact. But for fans of the OG show, there's good news as it is now available to stream on the free platform, Pluto TV. The service has a dedicated Catfish channel viewers can tune in to which shows back to back episodes, or they can also view the first six seasons on demand. Fans of the show often dissect their favourite episodes online, with one declaring their "must-watch" episode. They shared: "Season 1, episode 7 is SO JUICY. It is AMAZING and a must watch. I've watched it 5 times." Another fan chimed in with their recommendation, saying: "The first episode ever is good for one, the early 2000s fashion and for two, IMO the catfishee was the f***** up one. Actually the whole first 2 seasons I recently watched and they rarely disappointed." Meanwhile a third added: "Episode 2 Trina and Scorpio. Trina was so sweet. Same season, Rod and Ebony was interesting. Episode 4 Jasmine and Mike had an iconic result," as a fourth suggested: "S3, E2 Antwane and Tony had a pretty surprising twist..." Pluto TV also has two seasons of Catfish UK for viewers to stream. Its synopsis reads: "Oobah Butler and co-host Nella Rose are here to help you get to the bottom of your online romances and find out once and for all if the person you've fallen for is real."

Here are the finalists of Oceanographic Magazine's Ocean Photographer of the Year in 2025
Many of us amateurs already find snapping the perfect sunset selfie a challenge. So imagine trying to capture a clear shot of a moving marine creature underwater. That's precisely why we leave it to the professionals to bring us these extraordinary glimpses of life beneath the waves. Oceanographic Magazine's Ocean Photographer of the Year 2025 competition has once again delivered a stunning collection of images of the ocean and the lives within. Among this year's standout entries are a couple of breathtaking shots taken in Asia – proof of the region's rich marine biodiversity and natural beauty. Showcasing everything from vibrant coral reefs to elusive sea creatures, here are the finalist images taken in Asia: Fine Art Photographer of the Year This image of a young Pinnate Batfish in Indonesia was captured by Barcelona-based biologist and photographer Luis Arpa Toribio. Known for its jet-black body and almost neon-orange outline, the fish was sharply rendered using a slow shutter speed, snooted lighting, and deliberate camera panning – a technique Luis adopted to add a sense of motion and drama to the shot. Beneath the waves of the Tañon Strait in the Philippines, French-Taiwanese underwater photographer and artist Jade Hoksbergen captured this tiny young candy crab, measuring just a centimeter in size, perched delicately on a bed of pink coral. No, it's not a turtle floating in the sky. Hitomi captured this image near Mount Iwo on Satsuma-Iojima Island, where an "underwater aurora" effect appears thanks to iron-rich substances released by the nearby volcano. Beyond its visual beauty, Hitomi hopes the image will spark conversations about the urgent need for marine conservation. Wildlife Photographer of the Year Marine researcher Takumi Oyama captured this remarkable moment in Japan – a yellow pygmy goby releasing freshly hatched larvae from her mouth into the water. Unlike most gobiid species, this particular one stands out for its shared parental care, with both males and females involved in the hatching process. French marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer Alexis Chappuis captured this fascinating image of thousands of skeleton shrimps completely colonizing a gorgonian coral in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Photography instructor and marine project consultant Suliman Alatiqi's image features a lone Komodo dragon in Indonesia's coastal shorelines, half submerged in the waters as it rests and regulates its body temperature. Conservation (Impact) Photographer of the Year German underwater photographer Daniel Flormann aims to raise awareness about shark conservation through his image taken in West Papua. The solemn scene shows three sharks that perished in a net intended for anchovies, while a whale shark with a partially severed caudal fin swims around them. It might take a moment to decipher what's happening in this image, but it actually shows a tiny paper nautilus clinging to a plastic bottle cap in the open ocean off the coast of the Philippines. Italian underwater photographer Giancarlo Mazarese captured this striking contrast – a species that typically attaches itself to floating organisms like jellyfish is seen here gripping a piece of human-discarded plastic instead. Noam Kortler sheds light on the phenomenon of whale sharks repeatedly approaching tourist boats to be fed in Oslob, Philippines. His drone image, capturing nine whale sharks circling the boats, reflects what he sees as a shift from appreciating wildlife to exploiting it for show. Thai travel photographer Natnattcha Chaturapitamorn captures an everyday moment at sunrise, as fishermen offload their catch from a wooden boat. The focus of the image is a man carrying a massive fish across a narrow plank, carefully balancing over the water. Through this photo, Natnattcha hopes to highlight the need to care for our oceans, and not only for the creatures that live in them, but also for the communities that depend on them. Conservation (Hope) Photographer of the Year Thai photojournalist and marine biologist Sirachai Arunrugstichai captures an intimate moment as Pongsathorn Bauer, a Thai aquarist from Aquaria Phuket that's also known as 'Shark Dad', releases a young Indo-Pacific leopard shark into a sea pen off Maiton Island, Thailand. To capture this shot, Australian underwater photographer Catherine Holmes travelled to the Blue Caves at Maalhos Thila in the Maldives' North Ari Atoll, where lush corals were in full bloom – thriving with vibrant hues and teeming with life. Admittedly, this isn't your typical wildlife photograph. Thai photojournalist and marine biologist Sirachai Arunrugstichai features an aquarist from Aquaria Phuket holding a glass jar containing an early-stage embryo of an Indo-Pacific leopard shark – part of the aquarium's breeding programme aimed at reintroducing the species into the wild. Hungarian underwater photographer and scuba diving instructor László Földi captured this image of a squid egg resting on the seabed during an early morning dive at Gatto Island in the Philippines. Measuring just 2-3-cm wide, the egg had drifted away from its nest and the cluster of other eggs. South Korean underwater photographer Kim Hyeon Min captured this mesmerising scene at the end of a dive – a school of young fish circling a dome-shaped coral in sunlit, shallow waters. To him, the moment resembled a miniature planet, with the vibrant coral still untouched by bleaching and covered in a rich tapestry of marine life. Experienced photographers know that the reflective skin of anchovies often causes blowouts under flash photography. Yet, wildlife documentary filmmaker and underwater photographer Jenny Stock managed to capture a large school of glittering anchovies at Puri Pinnacle, as they swam rapidly to flee hunting jacks nearby. Japanese underwater photographer Sho Otani captured a rare moment of cardinal fish spawning at night in Japan. Describing the scene to be 'like a volcano bursting with life,' he managed to photograph it by carefully approaching the fish and positioning himself directly above them. British underwater photographer and filmmaker Aaron Sanders captured a brief and extraordinary moment as a giant barrel sponge released a large cloud of gametes during spawning on a coral reef, while Midnight Snappers fed on the drifting particles. Human Connection Award: People and Planet Ocean Thai photojournalist and marine biologist Sirachai Arunrugstichai captured this striking image of Fuji 268, one of Taiwan's last remaining fire fishing boats, as a fisherman ignites a fireball to drive sardines through the coastal waters of New Taipei, illuminating the night with flickering light. Captured by Chinese photographer and author Jianping Li, this image shows a group of fishermen working along the tidal flats in China, where the deep blue sea meets golden sands in a striking contrast of colour. Look a little closer, and you'll notice the fishermen using their red nets not just for work, but as props in a carefully choreographed performance. Thai travel photographer Natnattcha Chaturapitamorn documents the early morning rituals at Tam Tien Beach, where groups of wooden fishing boats anchor offshore to deliver fresh seafood catches to people waiting onshore to sort, sell, and buy the day's haul. Chinese photographer Shi Xiaowen ventured into the coastal waters of Xiapu to photograph a fisherman hard at work, surrounded by endless rows of laver cultivation poles stretching across the sea. This striking split-shot image by Australian diver Wendy Mitchell shows a man in Indonesia paddling a wooden canoe through calm, mangrove-lined waters. And just below the surface, a vibrant coral reef teems with life and rich biodiversity. Thai travel photographer Natnattcha Chaturapitamorn captures the striking scene of fishermen in Vietnam harvesting Sargassum seaweed with translucent nets, as they work from their traditional round wooden boats. Austrian underwater photographer and dive resort manager Max Holba photographs the descent of a handwoven bamboo basket into the depths of Alor's waters.
