The Apprentice: Helene Speight’s Boob Job

Helene Spreight

Helen Speight, a contestant from BBC TV show, The Apprentice recently had a boob job in order to boost her confidence, The Sun reports.

A colleague of Helene told the newspaper:

“Helene wasn’t shy to show pictures of her new assets.”

And last night a source on the BBC show said: “Helene’s not embarrassed in the slightest.

“She thinks if it makes you happy and feel more confident, good luck.”

The Apprentice: Who Do You Fancy?

So the girls are debating about which of the boys they find fanciable from this years male Apprentice team.

Who do you like the look of? It would have to be Alex for me….yum yum!!!

The Apprentice: I’m Glad Nicholas Got Fired!

After watching this clip of pompous little Nicholas from The Apprentice, I am so glad that I won’t have to watch him on TV again!

I suppose he would have to blow his own trumpet though, by the look of him no one else would do it for him!

The Apprentice: Watch Nicholas Get Fired AGAIN!

I love the bit at the end of each Apprentice show when the grovelling hopeful gets fired. I love to watch the bottom three squirm.

So here’s the moment where Nicholas got fired on last night’s show, the best bit has to be Sir Alan and Alex’s reaction to Raef’s “prince or pauper” remark.

Last Night’s Apprentice Pulled In More Than 6 Million Viewers!

Last night’s launch of The Apprentice attracted 6.4 million viewers, overnight figures show.

This was more than double the amount of people who tuned into Channel 4’s Grand Designs Revisited, which was watched by 3.1m.

ITV1 talent show drama Rock Rivals attracted a disappointing 2.2 million viewers.

The Apprentice: Is Alex Wotherspoon Related To Jason Orange

Alex Wotherspoon

I know its a bit sad that after all the drama that arose out of tonight’s Apprentice show, the only thing I want to know is whether or not team leader Alex Wotherspoon is Jason Orange’s long lost brother?

Have a look at the picture above of Alex and the one below of Jason Orange and tell me that there is not an uncanny resemblance between the two.

Add to that the fact that they both have the same accent, Jason Orange is from Manchester, while Alex is currently living in Jason OrangeBolton which is only a stones throw away. They even have the same cheeky grin that all you fellow Take Thatters out there will know and love.

Compelling evidence? I think so! Someone alert the tabloids!

I wonder if Alex can breakdance as well as Jason? Maybe Sir Alan should set a new dancing task. The Apprentice’s could put on a street show for some unsuspecting members of the public, and whichever team manages to collect the most money in their hat on the ground wins! That would clear this up once and for all!

The Apprentice 2008: Sir Alan Predicts The Best Series Yet!

The Apprentice 2008: Sir Alan Sugar NOT A Bully!

Alan Sugar

Sir Alan Sugar is not happy with the way that his BBC TV show portrays him. In an interview with The Sun he reveals that he is by no means a bully in business!

Sir Alan said: “People always write about me being the bullying bruiser from Brentwood but that’s unfortunately how I’m portrayed in the programme.

“It’s frustrating for people who really know me — friends and family — who know I’m not really like that.

“To keep a team of loyal staff like I have for 30 years you can’t go around being a bully.” Read more & comment »

The Apprentice 2008: Alan Sugar Would Love To Say “Clear Off!”

Alan Sugar

Sir Alan Sugar has revealed that he would love to change his catchphrase on BBC show, The Apprentice to “you’re sacked”, or “clear off!”

Sir Alan told The Sun: “I’m contractually obliged to say ‘you’re fired’. Personally I would have liked the flexibility to be able to vary it – maybe to say ‘you’re sacked’ or ‘get out’. Or possibly even ‘clear off’.

“But they tell me ‘you’re fired’ is great TV.”

VIDEO: What Do You Think Of The 16 Apprentices?

So what do you think of this years Apprentice wannabes? There are some absolute cocky ar**s in there, it should make for a great TV show!

The new Apprentice series kicks off tomorrow night at 9PM on BBC One!

The Apprentice: Simon Ambrose Has A “Rude Awakening”

Simon Ambrose

Last years Apprentice winner, Simon Abrose is said to have had a “rude awakening” when he took up his post at AMSPROP, the real estate division of Alan Sugar’s group of companies.

“Simon’s doing OK…He’s working on trying to sell some places for us and I think he’s had a rude awakening,” Sugar revealed. “His naivety’s been given a whack over the head, thinking that he’s got things sold but then realising he’s amongst some real sharks out there. He’s gotta learn - he’s an apprentice.”

However, despite his bumpy start, Sugar is confident that Ambrose will grow into his role. “He hasn’t sold Canary Wharf yet, but he’ll get there,” he insisted.

The Apprentice 2008: The First Task Is A Fishy One!

Alan Sugar

Twenty thousand CV’s were received from applicants around the UK – more than any other series before. The competition is stiff, as these ambitious business hopefuls are all successful in their chosen careers and hungry to reach the top.

Rivalry is rampant as all the candidates are desperate to walk away with the coveted prize of a six-figure salary and the opportunity to work for one of the most successful business moguls in the world.

With trusted aides Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford at his side, from the opening boardroom briefing Sir Alan makes it clear exactly who’s in charge:

“One of you is going to end up working for me on a six-figure salary, but I’ll tell you what, the money doesn’t mean anything. I’ve been in business for over 40 years. Your prize is working with me.”

However, the boss has a trick up his sleeve as he surprises the wannabe apprentices in episode one.

Thinking they are about to head off to relax in their new luxurious pad – a 7,000 square foot, multi-million pound, gated converted glass factory – with a glass of champagne and a glimpse of the high life, Sir Alan plays the first wild card of the series: Read more & comment »

The Apprentice 2008: Nicholas De Lacy Brown

Nicholas De Lacy Brown is a 24 year old Barrister from West London. Originally from Shoreham-by-Sea, Nicholas adopted his grandmother’s name De Lacy five years ago as he felt it was more sophisticated.

Although not born into aristocracy Nicholas fancies himself as an artistic, country hopping lord. He says: “From the moment I was born I knew I was destined for great things.” And “allergic to chavs”, he believes he has a privileged and luxurious life. Nicholas claims one of his worst moments of failure in life was when he once got a B in a GCSE. Read more & comment »
