According to the Press Association, The Apprentice stars Philip Taylor and Kate Walsh are engaged.

Kate has apparently been showing off a £3,000 engagement ring which the pair chose together at a jewellers in London.

A source is quoted by the PA as saying, “They are very much in love and this was always more than a work fling. Neither of them wanted to split.

“Once the show aired they were reminded of how well they had got on and Phil picked up the phone. They were back in each other’s arms within days and now it looks like they will have each other for life. Read more & comment »

Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar wanted to hire both show finalists this year according to Kate Walsh.

Kate lost the show to Yasmina last week but insists that Sir Alan wanted to hire her as well.

Walsh told The Sunday Mercury: “Sir Alan phoned to say on Friday what the outcome was. He said he tried to get the BBC to let him hire us both but he wasn’t allowed because of the format of the show.

Tonight saw the final Apprentice of the year and boy was it a good one!

Kate Walsh and Yasmina Siadatan went head to head in a confectionery based task, where each woman was responsible for creating and launching their own range of chocolates.

Kate’s team came up with ‘Choc Amour’, a product which was designed for sharing between couples, whilst Yamsina’s team produced ‘Cocoa Electric’ a shocking’ box of chocolates, which were almost inedible.

Taste obviously wasn’t an issue and Alan Sugar obviously isn’t a chocolate fan, because after admitting that Yasmina’s chocolates were vile, they were also cheap to produce and he moved on to hire her. I feel sorry for poor Mrs Sugar, I bet Valentines Day is a disappointment in their house.

So Yasmina landed a six figure job and Kate is left high and dry but somehow I don’t think she’ll be destitute. Surely her and Phillip are good for at least one or two big magazine spreads?

Apprentice candidate Phillip Taylor has admitted that Kate Walsh is just the sort of woman he’d like to marry.

Phillip was fired from the show last week for being too cocky and shooting his mouth off but the experience left him with more than just honed business skills, he also got a girlfriend thrown in for free.

In an interview with Heat magazine Phil opened up about his and Kate’s relationship saying:

“Well you always dream of marrying a beautiful woman don’t you – put it this way if I was going to marry anyone I’d like it to be her.”

Apprentice candidates Phillip Taylor and Kate Walsh may look all loved up now but rumour has it that Kate was not the Phillip’s first choice.

Paula Jones, who was fired from the show in week four, reportedly claimed that Phillip tried to bed her in the early days of filming but after she rebuffed him, he moved on to wooing Kate.

The People report that Paula told a friend: “It was obvious from the moment we met that he wanted to bed me. One night he tried to pull me on to a sofa but I wasn’t having any of it.

The romance between The Apprentice’s Phillip and Kate has been well documented but on tonight’s episode we will get to the the pair ‘at it’ for the first time.

Phil and Kate are supposed to be working on a task under the leadership of Lorraine Tighe but instead they spend most of their time flirting in the back of the car.

When Lorraine asks them to focus, Kate, 27, just shrugs: “I am not sure what else we can do.” And Philip, 29, suggests: “Let’s go to the pub.”

There has been much speculation about the supposed relationship between Apprentice candidates Philip Taylor and Kate Walsh since this years series began. These pictures would make it hard for the pair to deny that there was, at one point, something going on.

Kate and Philip’s rumored romance is put under the microscope on tonight’s The Apprentice: You’re Fired. Host Adrian Chiles asks: “who’s under whose spell?”

Tune in to The Apprentice, tonight at 9pm on BBC One, followed by You’re Fired at 10pm on BBC Two.

Apprentice candidate Kate Walsh has denied rumours that she had an affair with fellow candidate Phillip Taylor.

A rumour emerged last week that the pair hooked up whilst filming the show but broke up after the show ended. However Kate insists that they shared one snog only and not even a good one!

The Sunday Mirror reported that Walsh told a friend: “I did snog Phillip one evening but that was all that happened. I don’t know why I did it because he was a terrible kisser. There was definitely no affair.”

OMG!!! Sir Alan Sugar appeared on The One Show tonight saying that this years bunch of Apprentice candidates are his best yet, but to me they look like a bunch of bumbling idiots.

Their first task consisted of Sir Alan providing them with a van and some cleaning materials (all of which they paid for out of their budget). They then had to clean some stuff and make as much money as they could in just one day.

The girls in particular astounded me by trying to charge £300 to clean three cars! When the customer pointed out that his current cleaner does the job for £60, Mona Lewis told him he was wrong and basically implied that he was a liar. They landed the contract in the end but after dropping their price dramatically they then had to summon their customer to help them work the pressure washer.

A show source said: “Kate was flirting with some of the boys from day one and Phillip made it clear he was interested. He made a move and the pair got together after that.

“After it was all over, they continued to see each other – though it didn’t last.
