The Apprentice slaps a sex ban on candidates in upcoming new series
CONTESTANTS on The Apprentice’s new series signed up to a sex ban.
All candidates agreed to a contract clause vowing not to get down to business anywhere but in the boardroom.
It prohibits “any intimate physical contact and/or sexual activity” with rivals or crew involved with Lord Alan Sugar’s BBC One show.
A source said “Any antics could affect the candidates’ performance in the boardroom.
"The focus of the show is getting Lord Sugar to be your business partner, not finding your life partner.”
It comes after a string of series hook-ups.

The 2017 show was arguably the most romantic — winner James White got together with Jade English, while fellow contenders Harrison Jones and Michaela Wain became a couple and had a baby in 2018.
Lottie Lion and Lewis Ellis hooked up during filming in 2019 in Finland, while in 2009 Philip Taylor and Kate Walsh fell for each other.
The new series of The Apprentice will begin next month with the first episode in Antigua and Barbuda.
