Fan favourite Tre made it to the shows final five candidates

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.

“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’?!!!!”
