Former Apprentice candidate Katie Hopkins is running for MEP.

The woman who caused a stir on last years show by walking off before she was sacked, is standing under the banner of Katie Olivia Hopkins Independent Party.

The former Met Office worker is one of six South West region candidates on June 4.

The Apprentice is about to kick off again this week but one man who didn’t seem to learn much from the experience is last years candidate Raef Bjayou.

The Mirror is carrying a story today saying that Bjayou’s company has gone to the wall despite claims last year that it was worth £2 million.

They claim that according to documents filed to Companies House the company has now stopped trading for good.

I guess it will be quite strange then to watch him appear on Tuesday’s Richard And Judy’s TV show talking about how to succeed on The Apprentice.

Apprentice reject, Raef Bjayou, has been tipped for this years Dancing On Ice extravaganza.

Apparently Raef tried out for the show earlier this month and amused producers by performing in a full suit and cravat.

“He was hilarious and proved to be a big hit,” an insider told the Daily Star Sunday. “Most people turn up to train in professional gear – but Raef proved a bit different. He’s now a hot favourite to take part.”

Apprentice reject, Alex Wortherspoon may be set for his very own TV show if rumours can be believed.

The Sun has suggested that Alex will be fronting a new business show for wither BBC or Living later this year. The show will be in a similar vein to Ruth Badger’s ‘Badger or Bust’.

Alex confirmed: “I’m being really picky with the series ideas that have been presented to me. It has to be right.”

An insider tells the Sunday Mirror, “Alex might turn out to be the real winner of The Apprentice. Companies have been falling over themselves to snap him up. He is weighing his options.”

The Sun has reported that Apprentice finalist, Alex Wotherspoon, had already worked for one Viglen, one of Sir Alan Sugar’s companies, last year.

A spokewoman for the show said: “Alex decided to take up his offer and completed a short-term contract with a subsidiary company of Viglen, but he no longer works for them.”

It has also emerged that Claire Young and Lee McQueen worked for the same company during the last few months.

This was because the show is filmed far in advance of its broadcast and Sugar often hires the finalists before he hires one of them.

“It’s necessary for The Apprentice to be recorded in advance to allow time for editing,” the source explained. “Sir Alan makes his decision in the final boardroom as to the winner but does not reveal it to anyone until the day of filming You’re Hired!

“He employs finalists until the programme is shown as they would be unable to find employment for this short period and cannot be out of pocket.”

Tonight’s Apprentice result was a bit of a shocker for me, as I fully expected Claire Young to win.

Even after Lee and Claire won the aftershave challenge it seemed that she still had the upper hand as she had delivered such an amazing presentation and kept her cool throughout the task.

But tonight Sir Alan preferred Lee McQueen and although I was rooting for loud mouthed Claire, I can see the business strengths and talents that Lee possesses. I like that he is savvy without ever having the benefit of a priveledged education, I like that he is straight and honest and extremely hard working. He leads teams well and inspires those around him.

I suppose after reading that last paragraph I can kind of see why Sir Alan chose him…….

Apprentice boss, Sir Alan Sugar has hit out at claims that he sits on a booster seat in the boardroom to make him appear more imposing.

Sugar told the Press Association: “That’s a load of rubbish. The chair is fixed to stop it moving backwards and forwards while allowing me to swing to the left and the right.”.

“Anyone who watches the programme will know that I stand next to Nick and Margaret and the candidates, and I’m seen getting out of the car thousands of times,” he said. “It’s a total joke. It’s there to secure the four wheels to stop it moving backwards and forwards.”

It is just over two hours now until we find out who will win this years Apprentice, but it seems as though Sir Alan Sugar may be already having second thoughts over previous candidates.

I think most of us were shocked when Sir Alan fired Raef a few weeks ago and held onto the useless Michael, and it seems that he is now admitting to a serious error in judgement.

‘When Raef went perhaps the right person to have gone should have been Michael. And then who knows what would have happened. Because when they went forward onto the car task Raef may have excelled in that suave and debonair way,’ said Sir Alan to Radio one.

‘He’s a very nice bloke, let me tell you that. I’ve spoken to him off camera lots of times. This is a very, very nice fellow. The fact of the matter is, you can see he’s a very nice fellow because there’s no trash about him in the newspapers, he’s got no skeletons about him, he’s a real clean cut chappy.’

The Apprentice Final, tonight, 9pm, BBC1
