Sir Alan Sugar’s right hand man Nick Hewer has criticised Apprentice hopeful Noorul Choudhury.

Noorul may have avoided the boardroom so far but general consensus seems to be that this is down to his ability to melt into the background rather than his business acumen.

Speaking about this week’s advertising challenge, Hewer told The Mirror: “Noorul decided to melt in the background. And if that wasn’t possible he hid, sweating, in the Pants Man suit.

“Unbelievably, Noorul lives to fight another day. But you can’t hide in a Pants Man suit every week.”
