OHMYGOSSIP — Lord Sugar is confident he would have won ‘The Apprentice’ if he had been on the show as a contestant.
The 75-year-old businessman – who left school at 16 – has no doubt that if the BBC business show was around when he was a teen he would have been victorious.
Speaking to the Oxford Union, Lord Sugar said: “I was 16 or 17 when I started, and if ‘The Apprentice’ was around then, I would have won it.”
The ‘Apprentice’ officially began on BBC Two in 2005, and filming for season 17 has wrapped ahead of a 2023 return.
But Lord Sugar admits he had no real vision for the show.
He said: “I had no vision for the show. The original was formed in America where Donald Trump was the equivalent of what I do. He was useless, to be honest with you.
“The BBC wanted to find a businessman to replicate it and I thought it was exciting.”
Lord Sugar has no plans to retire as of yet, and doesn’t see himself slowing down anytime soon.
He added: “I have been a five-day-a-week bloke. I have never worked on the weekends.
“My wife reminds me I used to leave at 6am and come back at 7pm and I would not see the children at all as they would be in bed by the time I got back.
“I don’t see myself slowing down.”
Lord Sugar began his career working at a greengrocer before selling aerials from a van which he bought for £50, and he quickly made a name for himself when he opened his first business, Amstrad, back in 1968.
