The romance between The Apprentice’s Phillip and Kate has been well documented but on tonight’s episode we will get to the the pair ‘at it’ for the first time.

Phil and Kate are supposed to be working on a task under the leadership of Lorraine Tighe but instead they spend most of their time flirting in the back of the car.

When Lorraine asks them to focus, Kate, 27, just shrugs: “I am not sure what else we can do.” And Philip, 29, suggests: “Let’s go to the pub.”

An irate Lorraine later tells the cameras: “I want to know what is causing all the distractions. And I hope for Kate, Phil and Ben’s sake it is not Kate’s beauty.”

A show source added: “Kate and Philip are mixing business with pleasure – and it’s not having a positive effect on them selling.

“Their relationship is a big part of this week’s show.”
