NOOOOooooooooooo, This Can’t Be: Another Apprentice Bites The Bag

Apprentice candidate Lorraine Tighe has been questioned as part of an £8million fraud investigation.

The 36-year-old single mum, whose describes herself as 'succeeding in life against all the odds', was probed as part of a VAT and tax investigation into her tycoon father construction company.

The accounts manager is said to have kept quiet about the case during the selection process for the BBC show - and could have lost her chance to be Sir Alan's Apprentice if the producers found out.


If you want to read the rest it’s at the Daily Mail - we're taking a break from all this Apprentice foolery.

“You’re Fired”…And You’re Stupid

In the BBC version of ‘The Apprentice’, Sir Alan Sugar, in the Donald Trump role, fired corporate attorney Anita Shah.

It seems Anita and her team came in under budget in their assignment to wash cars, but washed them, including a Ferrari, with oven cleaner. That's scary stupid.

The 35-year-old business strategist told BBC Breakfast: 'I gave myself the kiss of death.'

Sir Alan had told her: 'Anita, you put yourself forward as one of Britain's best business prospects.

'You showed no initiative in spotting that you were going for a disaster and on that basis ... Anita. You're fired!'

Shah said that Sir Alan 'doesn't particularly like lawyers. Let's see in 10 years if he doesn't sit and think: maybe I made the wrong decision.'
