From the editing it seems as if they did film an episode with the fired candidate but have quickly recorded another 'show' later on (they probably just asked the audience from a different recording to stay behind a bit longer?) and sort of merged the two together

Watch the end sequence from 27:00 on iPlayer, the cards on Tom’s desk change keep changing in number and position

It’d be interesting to know if they did film a proper edition, or if they always filmed this filler edition, and then just did some later pick ups to cover some links. I’d suggest the latter as surely the panel wouldn’t have come back a second time.
