The Apprentice has been accused by fans of a 'photoshop fail' after a male contestant appeared to have three hands in promotional pictures.

Candidate Kayode Damil, 26, can be seen with his arms crossed in the shots ahead of the new BBC series.

However, eagle eyed viewers spotted that his hand looked as though it had been split in two, appearing both underneath and above his folded arm, giving the impression of a third hand.

Many Twitter users took to the social media platform to express their confusion at the BBC’s seeming sleight of hand.

Ciara Knight wrote: "I’ve spent the entire day laughing at this guy with three hands."

"‘We have a guy with three hands this year! Think the photoshop guy should be fired," added Andrew Batchelor
