The Apprentice candidate Nick Holzherr has revealed that he’s been lucky or unlucky enough – depending on your viewpoint – to have received the gift of pants from a gay fan.

However, Nick, who is of reportedly dating fellow Apprentice candidate Gabrielle Omar, added that they were no ordinary pants and were in fact stylish and trendy, and hopefully unused, Calvin Klein boxers worth £50.

Speaking to TV Biz, Nick said, “I did get boxer shorts sent to me. I had a few. They were clean and pink. They’re actually quite nice and I have worn them.

“They were from a fan, a gay gentleman. He got the right size!

“He said something along the lines of ‘I’m a great fan, don’t take this the wrong way… ’

“It was very nice of him to send them. He did it on several occasions.”

Cheeky Nick added, “In future I could do with some socks as well!”

We will of course see Nick battling it out to win the show tonight alongside Tom Gearing, Ricky Martin and Jade Nash. And whoever wins will land a Very Nice Thank You prize of a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar.

Meanwhile though, cagey Nick refused to confirm or deny that he and Gabrielle are in fact an item.

He said, “We’re great friends, I’m not gonna confirm or deny if we were together, but we got on great on the show and we’re still great friends.

“Gabrielle’s happy for all of us.”

Bless.
