Former Apprentice star Raef Bjayou has signed up to be a presenter on Richard and Judy's new TV show.
Raef, who missed out on landing a job with Sir Alan Sugar on the programme, will appear alongside the couple for the first time in the autumn.
A source told the Sunday Mirror, "Raef is thrilled with the Richard and Judy deal. He's never shied away from the fact that The Apprentice launched his career, but he is keen to carve out an name for himself as a presenter, not just a reality TV star."
Apprentice aides Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford have been approached to star in Strictly Come Dancing, according to a report.
The pair, who advise Sir Alan Sugar on the hit BBC show, have reportedly been offered £25,000 each to appear in the dance contest's next series.
A source told the Mail on Sunday, "Nick and Margaret are the unacknowledged stars of The Apprentice and more and more people have been watching it because of them.
"They have really interesting, understated personalities and some of their reactions to what the candidates do in Sir Alan's tasks are wickedly funny."
A BBC spokesperson simply said, "Nothing is confirmed yet."
Hewer, 64, is said to be on the verge of signing for the show and is hoping to persuade Mountford, a 55-year-old lawyer, to appear with him.
He may not have become Alan Sugar’s new apprentice, but the jobs have already started rolling in for Alex Wotherspoon – modelling jobs that is.
A show insider exclusively told heat magazine, “As we speak, Alex is in talks for modelling work with a range of people. A clothes company in Manchester called Crombie had already got him wearing their suits on The Apprentice, and now he’s really keen to get back into that world and so some more modelling work.” Read more in heat magazine out now
Lee McQueen, 30, was the surprise winner of The Apprentice as the series came to an end. Claire Young was seen as the favourite to win but Sir Alan Sugar told Lee "you're hired".
He will become the sales director of a new digital marketing company within Sir Alan's business empire. McQueen said: "I always said if I won I'd buy myself a Porsche 911."
Fired Apprentice candidate Michael Sophocles has claimed that he has increased sex appeal as a result of his appearance on the programme.
Though he was one of the most controversial contestants of the series, the 25-year-old telesales executive has received more than his fair share of female attention in recent weeks.
"I'm a sex addict. I just love women," Michael told the News of the World. "I've slept with over 70 but I've only had two girlfriends, and I haven't been in love. When I'm with someone I always see other women who I want to sleep with.
"It's great - I can now just go up to someone and not have to make any small-talk. They'll just jump into bed with me."
Sophocles also confirmed reports that he worked as a male escort while studying at Edinburgh University. He turned to the occupation after running up gambling debts.
"I was looking through a dirty magazine in bed and I saw ads for escort agencies. I called one and they wanted a £100 joining fee," Michael explained. "I stole the money from a jar in my flatmate's room and I never gave it back to him. It wasn't the only occasion I thieved from him."
Apprentice wannabe Lee McQueen has only ever had two girlfriends.
It turns out the tough-talking dark horse is quite a shy boy.
Talking exclusively to heat magazine a friend of Lee revealed, “When Lee was at school he was a bit of a heart-throb, but he’s only had two long-term girlfriends. First there was a girl called Rachel, who he was with for about four years, and then Nicola.”
Lee now lives with Nicola – who he met a work nine years ago – in Buckinghamshire and apparently only has eyes for her.
Lee’s mate adds: “He’s definitely a one-woman man.” Read more in heat, out now
Katie Hopkins, was fired from her real job, her employer confirmed, earlier this week. Katie was also caught in an outdoor romp with a married man and the pictures made their way into the media.
The Met Office, where the 31-year-old worked as a brand consultant, said she failed to pass a probationary period. A spokesman would not comment on reports that she was fired because of her conduct on the show, but said it was an aspect of her review.
While on 'The Apprentice' Katie admitted that she lied and cheated "to get someone else's husband because I wanted him." She also sold her story to the press.
'The Apprentice' finalisits have hit out at Katie's revelations with Simon Ambrose saying, "I come from a broken home and I didn't appreciate Katie's actions...I didn't think it should be something that is congratulated."
Meanwhile Kristina Grimes said, even if Katie never backed out of the final, "She would have eventually got the axe."
Sir Alan Sugar told GMTV, "What I can't understand about Katie is the way she's portrayed herself in such a manner. I'm at a loss to understand what she is doing. People don't like her. I don't understand the lady." Sources: BBC & Daily Mail
'The Apprentice' superbitch Katie Hopkins has no problem riding over love rivals as she brazenly confirms her image as a serial marriage wrecker.
The 31-year-old businesswoman, who was recently photographed naked in a field straddling married colleague Mark Cross, says she cannot guarantee that she will not target another attached man.
“I would like to think my next boyfriend is single,” she tells Closer magazine. “But I can’t guarantee it."
“I don’t go into this thinking ‘that’s someone’s husband’. But I don’t think about the wife at him. That’s not the way you look at it, is it?"
“I don’t pity Mark’s wife – I try not to pity anyone. I don’t think pity is a helpful emotion.”
Katie, who quit The Apprentice just as she was offered a place in the final, has revealed that she has seduced three married men in a tempestuous love life. Read the full story in Closer, on sale now.
'The Apprentice' star Katie Hopkins once applied to appear on Big Brother, her step-daughter has claimed.
Charlie McKinney, whose father Damian married Hopkins in 2004, claimed that her step-mother was once a stand-by for the reality TV show.
McKinney told the Daily Mirror, "Katie went for Big Brother and was a stand-by. She's very into celebrity. I wouldn't be surprised to see her on the next Celebrity Big Brother."
Bitchy Katie Hopkins has become well known for her sharp tongue and witty put-downs of her fellow contestants on The Apprentice. I hope she does get onto a future series of Big Brother because she speaks her mind and is very entertaining to watch. Source
