The Apprentice: Where Are They Now?
![]() |
The Apprentice is into its fifth series and along the way, we've met some memorable characters. Who can forget the number of times Paul Torrisi and Saira Khan clashed in series one way back in 2005?
What about the phenomenal selling ability of a certain Ruth Badger in 2006? And do I even have to explain what made Katie Hopkins so memorable a year later? Let's not forget 2008's Lee McQueen; author of a dodgy CV and exponent of an eye-popping reverse pterodactyl impression. So where are some of the past contestants and winners? What have they been up to since their days of being bossed around by Sir Alan Sugar on TV? Find out what happened to some Apprentice faves in our gallery.
