Beauty entrepreneur Amy Anzel was accused of 'telling a whopper' when she told Lord Alan Sugar that she sang the jingles for Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Burger King on this year's series of The Apprentice. It seemed Lord Sugar didn’t believe a word of it, or was keen to use one of his famous puns, after the business magnate brought up candidate Amy's past as a child star.
Lord Sugar adopted a disbelieving tone when he challenged her in the boardroom in the first episode of the 2022 series back in January. "You sang the jingle for Burger King is that right?" he asked.
And, reeling off a list household names as her fellow competitors looked on, Amy told him: "Yes. McDonald's Burger King, Coca-Cola, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing ..." But an unconvinced Lord Sugar asked "is that true or is that a whopper?" before the boardroom of contestants burst into laughter.
