“Afterwards they kept things going for a while, but relations have cooled off between them since ­filming ended."

What is The Apprentice?

The Apprentice is a hit BBC reality show, now in its thirteenth series, featuring hour-long episodes.

Each series of the programme aims to find a new apprentice for billionaire business mogul and Amstrad founder Lord Alan Sugar, who's worth £1.4bn.

It aims to recreate the toughest of business environments and tasks for its set of contestants, but it is often very funny due to the incompetence and arrogance of the competitors.

The show began in 2005 and has a US equivalent that kicked off in 2004, with Donald Trump in Lord Alan's equivalent role.

There are celebrity and junior versions of the UK show, too.
