Apprentice stars in shock Twitter bust-up as Ryan-Mark brands Lottie Lion a ‘shameful human’

TWO of The Apprentice's biggest stars are locked in a bitter row, with Ryan-Mark Parsons and Lottie Lion accusing each other of being fame-hungry and "shameful".

The trouble began when she retweeted a post about the axed teen using a knife and fork at McDonald's that accused him of being fame-hungry.

In response, Ryan-Mark wrote: "Ah @LottieLion1 gets annoyed when she isn’t a story.

"If she isn’t making a headline for racist accusation, she likes to demonise others. Shameful human."

Lottie didn't take that lying down replying: "It’s just very interesting to see who goes onto the programme for business and who does for fame.

"I am not demonising you, I just question your intentions for being on the show."

Mark-Ryan shot back: "Darling. The whole house knew of your intentions. So much has been held back."

Then, referencing the 19-year-old's job, wrote: "Anyway, off to Harrods. Enjoy the school library."

She replied: "(1)You pranced about, & the world LOVED you but I’m genuinely there for business. I’ve had two enterprises myself (small ones) and my current venture which is taking off. Stop being so jealous, it screams poor loser.

"(2) Also, I’ll go back to my library, you go back to Harrods where you superficially swan around pretending you can afford anything there.

"I work for what I have, mummy & daddy didn’t hand anything to me. Don’t talk so down on people it’s disgusting."

Ryan-Mark then taunted Lottie for suggesting Lord Sugar knew her dad, tweeting: "Ah yes! Like when you said Lord Sugar knew your father (vehemently denied).

"Well in that case, I’m sure you’ll smash the interviews! Best of luck."

She hit back: "They had done business, Lord Sugar spoke at an event my father organised, they had never met in person.

"Again, don’t be so bitter. I shall move on in my life and focus on what’s important. I hope you do too. 'Go back' to McDonald’s with your poses knife and fork."

But it seemed Ryan-Mark was going to have the last word as he tweeted: "Honestly, wish you well for the next stage.

"If that fails, you can always make business from charging late fees on books."

It's not the first argument Ryan-Mark, also 19, has found himself tangling with a fellow candidate.

After he was sent packing by Lord Sugar when his team organised a disastrous corporate fun day on a train, Marianne refused to shake his hand, with the reality hopeful then telling The Sun Online: "She reminds me of a troll under a bridge."

He added: "She sits there and when someone’s walking along she just grabs their leg and pulls them into the river.

"I have a feeling - I actually have a conspiracy - that she was sabotaging my task. She wanted to get rid of me."
