Lord Sugar has revealed that, unlike in past series, the winner of the 2011 series of The Apprentice will not be given a job at his firm. Instead, similar to the Junior Apprentice, the winner will receive access to a fund which will give the winning candidate the opportunity to launch a company of their own.
Junior Apprentice winner Arjun has described Lord Sugar and his aides, Nick Hewer and Karren Brady as “amazing role models”. Speaking after his win, Arjun said the trio were supportive and were people he was inspired to be like in the future.
Comedian Dara O’Briain has been confirmed as the new host of the ‘You’re Fired’ Apprentice spin off show. The 30 minute programme, which airs after the main show, sees the fired candidate interviewed and questioned by the host and a panel of celebrity guests in front of a studio audience.
Arjun Rajyagor has become the first winner of the Junior Apprentice, beating Tim Ankers to the top position. In the final boardroom Lord Sugar said it was a very tough, “near impossible”, decision, adding that Arjun had a soft nature and clear academic qualifications.
Zoe Plummer and Kirsty Cleaver have lost out on the chance of becoming Lord Sugar’s first Junior Apprentice after falling at the last hurdle. The pair lost their final task which required the remaining candidates to create and launch their own brand of bottled water.
Lord Sugar has confirmed a second series of The Junior Apprentice and said it will be longer, saying 6 episodes “wasn’t enough”. Speaking ahead of tonight’s Junior Apprentice final, Lord Sugar said that the new format was a blessing for him as it allowed him to do “something else”.
The final task for the Junior Apprentices has been revealed ahead of tonight’s final show. The four remaining candidates, split into two teams, must create their own brand of bottled water. The pairs must come up with a name, bottle design, jingle and TV ad before presenting the results to industry leaders.
Fired Junior Apprentice candidate Emma Walker has described Lord Sugar as the ‘most inspiring person’ she’s ever met. Speaking after her exit, broadcast last night, Emma said Arjun was the strongest remaining candidate and blamed herself for being fired after last night’s task.
Emma Walker has become the fifth candidate to be fired from the first ever series of The Junior Apprentice, the sixth to leave overall.
Glamour model Katie Price has said she has always wanted to give The Apprentice a try and would love to be on the show. Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, Price said she thought she’d be good at fighting her corner with Lord Sugar in the boardroom.
