The Apprentice stars hook up in secret wooden shed at the show’s luxury house to avoid cameras
THE Apprentice stars hook up with each other in the garden shed of the show’s luxurious house in sordid sex liaisons, a former star has revealed.
Raef Bjayou, who was on the fourth series of the BBC show in 2008, told the Sun’s Bizarre column contestants would sneak out of the Notting Hill house and cop off with each other.
It comes as current contestants James White and Jade English and Anisa Topan and Andrew Brady enjoyed mixing business with pleasure.
Speaking at the reopening of Forty Dean Street in Soho, London, Raef, 37, said: "There were rumours - apparently people were using the shed in the garden as a kind of snogging, intimate room.
"I think they've changed the house, but in my year it was the garden shed.
"I could be wrong but I believe there were two people in my year who would go in there to snog."
Raef, who now runs PR and property firms, revealed living with fellow contestants can be stressful and intense, having worked with them all day.
He said there was never much alcohol allowed in the house as production always kept a tab on them.
And he defended stars’ cutting comments made in the boardroom to Alan Sugar but admitted it revealed their true colours.
He told the Sun: “I think there were one or two cans of lager. They kept tabs on what you drank. It wasn't like we were drowning in champagne.
“It's quite intense because you're working really hard and obviously you'd prefer to have a bit of me time, but you don't because thrust into a house with other people so there's no opportunity for a bit of solace.
“I think there's a kind of agreement when you're in the boardroom you do within reason what you need to do to survive. And when you're not in the boardroom it's water under the bridge.
“What happens in the boardroom stays in the boardroom.
“Also, you've only got something to worry about if you've said something that's really egregiously horrible either not true or fabricated. If you're one of those people you've probably got something to worry about. If you'd said it how it is you just forget about it.”
