Allow us to loosen your tie, sir

If you're partial to a man in a suit - and, let's be honest, who isn't? - you'll enjoy the new series of The Apprentice. At least four of the male candidates are of the wouldn't-kick-'em-out-of-bed variety, but the pick of the bunch is 24-year-old Bolton boy Alex Wotherspoon. This young ball-breaker can show us his boardroom skills any time he likes.

Truth be told, this picture doesn't really do him justice, but he's looking properly fit in episode one of the new series, airing next Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.

By the way, you can perve (or not) over all 16 apprentices by clicking here. We'll warn you in advance, though - one of them looks a bit like Boris Johnson crossed with Matt Lucas. Eek!
