The PA report today that former Apprentice star Raef Bjayou has said he hopes “nice guy” Tom Pellereau wins this year’s competition.
Raef made his remarks to the press while attending the opening night of a new run of Yes, Prime Minister in London’s West End.
He said, “I thought Melody was going to win but she’s obviously been ousted, so I’m going to go for the wild card – Tom the inventor.
