The co -owner of ADL Air Conditioning has reached the end of season 19, along with Anisa Khan after the episode focused on the interview last night (Thorsday, April 10).
“The dream was to reach the last five now that I have gone a step further, why can’t I go all the way?” Dean said.
In a previous interview with the recorder, Dean said the community shows that it had “much support” and last night and this morning it had not been the exception.
“My phone has not stopped, it is giving me a headache.
“Telephone calls, messages, Instagram go absolutely crazy.”
Dean reached the surrounding final Anisa Khan (Image: Dean Franklin) Entering the final would never be an easy trip and the episode last night showed exactly that.
Each of the candidates was put under the focus with their business plans examined by Claude Littner, Linda Plant, Claudine Collins and Miucar.
Dean said: “I was so confident because this was the opportunity to talk about what I know and maybe I had too much confidence because soon as I sat with Mike, I collapsed.”
Mike took out an explicit image of Dean’s social media pages and did not let him escape his words, referring to climate change as climate control.
“I never felt pressure, I knew as soon as I said the climatic control that I was wrong,” Dean said.
“As soon as those words came out of my mouth, I knew I was under pressure and I was just trying to laugh, but I knew that what was going to leave my mouth was absolute garbage.
Dean said he had never felt pressure like Hey did when talking to Mike Soutar (Image: BBC) “I did it well in the other interviews, but they didn’t show much of that: Mike One was brutal.
“When hey he took that photo, the shame on my face said everything.
“I found him fun, I think everyone did, but it was the right place.”
Dean said it was great to see him last night with his wife Chloe and the children Ted and Bonnie, who “can’t stop talking about it.”
“They really enjoy it at this time and they can’t wait to return to school and talk to their friends about it.”
Despite Mike’s hard treatment, Dean said he was still “safe” to go to the boardroom with Lord Sugar due to his business.

“This is not an idea as some of the other candidates did: it is an established business that has been working for years and has built a very good reputation.”
Since his previous conversation with this article, Dean’s fortune had turned when he was found in the losing team for several weeks in a row.
He said: “I started badly in the first episode and then got up and went to a winning streak and won around six in the turn and then came to an end with some episodes that were not on my way.
“What I can say is that every episode that I put everything in it and could not have done more and I think that shone and Lord Sugar noticed it.
“At the end of the day, Lord Sugar is looking for someone who lace with which he has a good business and has his head on his shoulders, and I think he saw him in me.”
Dean and Anisa will fight next day to become a 2025 apprentice winner (Image: BBC) Dean had a personal message for anyone who may be considering entering a future apprentice season.
“If you think you have what is needed, then register, simple as that.
“Do not underestimate the process, it is the most difficult thing it will do in your life, but it is also one of the best.
“I was the only merchant in the program this year and that speaks for himself, just because you are a merchant, it does not mean that you cannot do corporate things.
“People think that a businessman is about using a suit and being corporate, but the average merchant does not do so, they are still entrepreneurs.
“Merchants should be proud: they are the backbone of Great Britain and we should all be proud of what we do.”
The final of next week will see Dean and Anisa launch their business with the help of the other candidates who return.
Dean said: “You have seen me crumble in front of a person, how am I going to be ahead or 200 industry experts?
“It’s going to be difficult, he had never been disturbing before a audience like that.
“We will all have to tune in and see how it is going.”
The final will be Aore next Thursday (April 17) in BBC One.
