As fans of The Apprentice will know, last night, candidate Uzma Yakoob became the latest hopeful to be fired from the show…
However, though losing out on the show is upsetting enough, Uzma has revealed that comments about her looking like “a man in drag” have been more hurtful than anything Lord Sugar may have said to her.
Speaking to The Sun’s TV Biz, 32 year old Uzma said, “I am human so I do look at the comments. It’s not nice when people criticise your looks… Read more & comment »

Lord Sugar has quickly shot down any talk that The Apprentice has been sexed up with “dolly birds” this year, in a bid to save the show after it took a nose dive off a cliff in terms of ratings last year.
Last year’s final was three and a half million viewers down on the previous year’s 10 million, so the sceptics among us think that Lord Sugar may have stuffed the boardroom with as many pretty females he can lay his hands on to save the show.

He said, “There was no dismissal of the claimant – the claimant resigned… Read more & comment »

As we reported yesterday, former The Apprentice winner Stella English has taken a case to a tribunal, claiming that she wasn’t given the job she was promised as part of Lord Alan Sugar’s business empire.
She is alleging that the £100,000 job that she landed didn’t meet her expectations and in fact saw her carrying out “menial tasks.”
And it’s been reported today by the Mirror that during the hearing, Ms English claimed that when she tackled Lord Sugar about the job, he told her that he had “met his obligations” to her and wouldn’t be keeping her on. Read more & comment »

As if X Factor judge Tulisa hadn’t had enough rowing and ranting on Twitter of late – what with her boyfriend Danny Simpson’s ex-girlfriends making lots of allegations about him being a “love rat” but more on him in a moment – she’s embarked on a new row with The Apprentice tycoon Lord Alan Sugar!
Apparently, their row began when Lord Sugar tweeted to Simon Cowell, “Get back here and do X Factor yourself and chuck Tulisa out.
“She knows nothing and talks rubbish.”
According to TV Biz, a livid Tulisa then replied, “u look like an ugly hobbit. Stop tweeting about me & go & find some happiness!
“Its embarrassing u miserable old man.” (sic) Read more & comment »

We posted an interview earlier today with latest Big Brother evictee, Caroline Wharram, who was certainly not backwards in coming forward over claims from former Apprentice contestant, Harry Maxwell (read original article here), that she had hounded him on facebook!
In the interview Wharram, who said on BBBOTS she had “got with Harry Maxwell”, insisted that Maxwell’s claims she had approached him out one night, were completely untrue, saying: “Oh my god, Harry Maxwell is a lying B*STARD”

Don’t fire The Apprentice just yet.
@HarryMaxwell from Young Apprentice here – your resident Unreality TV squatter, sorry columnist….
Last week I went to the BAFTAs and got chatting to Kate Ford who plays Tracy Barlow in Corrie. In between my interpretive-round-the-BAFTA-dancing to the Coronation Street theme tune (joke), I learned thst Kate is a closet Apprentice superfan. However like many people I’m speaking to, she feels the latest series lacks summat-summat.
