Lord Alan Sugar has dropped yet another Apprentice winner after just four years in business together.
Just weeks after hiring this year's series victor Harpreet Kaur, the mogul has allegedly parted ways with 2018 winner Sian Gabbidon.
He is said to have given up his role as director at Sian's beach and loungewear company, Sian Marie Fashion.
When the entrepreneur was crowned, Lord Sugar's company Amsvest Limited invested the usual £250,000 awarded to winners and reportedly had “significant control” of her business, the Mirror reports.
However, his position in the company was "terminated" last month, with his investment firm also having been removed, according to The Sun.
The Mirror has contacted a representative for Lord Sugar asking for comment.
Sian is believed to be the latest star to be dropped in a long line of dumped previous winners of the BBC show.
Other cut off victors include Joseph Valente from 2015’s series, Alana Spencer, from the 2016 series, and 2017’s winner James White.
The shock dumping came just weeks after Lord Sugar crowned Harpreet Kaur as this year’s series winner.
She impressed Lord Sugar with her sweat treat company, Oh So Yum!, which offers baked goods to order online and in-store.
It was only Kathryn remaining in her way, as the two ladies went head-to-head for the final in a bid to come out on top.
But ultimately, Harpreet won over Sugar and his panel.
Speaking of her win as the news was revealed, the candidate couldn't believe it but said it was a "dream come true".
She explained: "I cannot believe Lord Sugar has chosen me to be his business partner!
"I have dreamed of this moment, and it just completely proves that if you work hard and you believe in yourself, dreams do come true."
