The Apprentice Winners – What Did They Do Next?

"How embarrassing, we both showed up to work in the same outfit"

Originally written for The Huffington Post

Last week, Lord Sugar unveiled 16 contestants hoping to become his new Apprentice. The series returns to BBC1 today.

If they complete all the weekly tasks successfully they’ll get the chance to work with the grizzled business magnate. However, if you’ve been keeping track, you’ll know that whoever wins this series will be the eighth apprentice Lord Sugar has taken on so far. But does he really need a new one? What happened to the others?

Don’t worry: they’re not locked in a basement somewhere. But interestingly, they’re no longer working for Amscreen, Amsprop or any of Lord Sugar’s other business interests either. They’ve all moved on.
