'Apprentice' Taylor: 'I would marry Kate'

Apprentice reject Phillip Taylor has said that he can see himself marrying fellow contestant Kate Walsh.

The estate agent, who was fired by Sir Alan Sugar last week, claimed that Walsh is a "beautiful woman" and he hopes to one day settle down with her.

"Well you always dream of marrying a beautiful woman, don't you?" he told Heat. "Put it this way - if I was going to marry anyone I'd like it to be her."

Taylor recently moved from County Durham to London so he could be nearer his partner. "It is a big decision for me - my feelings for Kate have made me want to take that risk," he said.

He also revealed that they enjoyed their first kiss after the fitness kit challenge on the BBC One show, which Taylor won for his team.

"I told Kate to close her eyes and when she did I lent in and kissed her," he said. "She was laughing at me but I knew at that point she liked me too."
