Lily Allen has been singing the praises of Sir Alan Sugar and the opening episode of The Apprentice this week.

On her Twitter page Lily filled fans in on Sugar’s witty one liners. She tweeted:

“Could Alan Sugar use a few more metaphors in his opener? Diamonds, coal, extreme pressure! LOL.

“I’m harder to play than a Stradivarius, you’re as easy to play as the bongo drums. Genius. I know the words to ‘Candle In The Wind’, that don’t make me Elton John!”
