Lord Alan Sugar has hit back at claims that this year's The Apprentice line-up resemble a 'sexier' Love Island cast. Tomorrow night, January 5, this year's contestants will enter the boardroom for the first time as the no-nonsense business mogul Lord Sugar sets them tricky tasks which will test their business sense.
The 17th series of the BBC reality show will see 18 new candidates compete to win a life-changing investment of £250,000 from Lord Sugar. Following the release of this year's line-up yesterday, some viewers have noted the apparent resemblance between this year's candidates and Love Island contestants.
One of those to draw comparison between the two shows and their contestants was journalist Sally Nugent on this morning's episode of BBC Breakfast. As Sally and co-presenter Jon Kay went through the day's newspaper headlines, they reacted to an article about this year's Apprentice cast.
