Wotherspoon blasts 'desperate' Sophocles

Alex Wotherspoon has criticised his Apprentice rivals for craving media attention.

Wotherspoon described fellow contestants Lucinda Ledgerwood and Michael Sophocles as "desperate" for agreeing to appear on hairdressing reality show Celebrity Scissorhands.

"They must be desperate for media attention because it's an unpaid three-week show," he told DS.

"Michael's a bit of a loser really. He's totally arrogant. Hes an arrogant little wannabe."

The 25-year-old also revealed that he recently signed "a big exclusivity agreement" with "a big American production company" to make a new business show for the BBC.

He is also working on a consultancy basis for a London law firm and is in talks about a campaign for heritage suits firm Crombie.
