'Apprentice' Claire quits Brady job

Apprentice runner-up Claire Young has quit her job at Birmingham City Football Club, reports say.

The 29-year-old was given a lucrative sales post after impressing managing director Karren Brady with her performance on the BBC show.

However, Young is said to have changed her mind about taking up the role in favour of launching her own company to pursue her showbiz ambitions.

The Daily Star quotes her as saying: "I have been offered a great deal of media work and by setting up a consultancy I can do both.

"I talked to Karren and explained I wanted to pursue both the media work and my own consultancy and she kindly agreed to let me stand down. She's been brilliant and I'm grateful to her."
