Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown investigates why more young people aren't taking up apprenticeships, particularly in areas like hospitality, as part of a special report on 91热爆 Radio 5 Live.

Government statistics show the number of people starting an apprenticeship in hospitality has almost halved in five years.

Candice Brown used to be a secondary school teacher but now runs a pub with her brother.

She thinks there is a snobbery towards apprenticeships which is adding to the hospitality industry's skills shortage.

For her report she challenged two Year 10s from a high school in Luton to try a day's apprenticeship in a hotel kitchen, to see if she could open their minds to on-the-job learning.

And Candice told Rachel Burden on 91热爆 Radio 5 Live Breakfast why she was so passionate about apprenticeships.
