McQueen: 'Sugar is better than expected'

Lee McQueen has revealed that working for Sir Alan Sugar is everything he expected and more.

Speaking at the DS Reality TV Awards, the Apprentice series four winner said that his job with Sugar is exactly what he hoped it would be.

"It's going very well actually. It's going very well indeed. We've got a couple of big deals bubbling under," he said.

"[Sir Alan's] a very good guy. He's very knowledgeable actually. So I'm learning a lot. It's going really well."

McQueen admitted that he is enjoying watching this year's Apprentice as a fan, but claimed that the boardroom music still "makes [me] a bit nervous".

When asked about fired candidate Rocky Andrews's assertions that Southerners were not as good at business as Northerners, McQueen joked: "Alex Wotherspoon is a Northerner and I'm a Southerner. It speaks for itself, doesn't it? I won and he didn't!"
