Yasmina wins 'The Apprentice'

Yasmina Siadatan has become Sir Alan Sugar's fifth Apprentice, after triumphing over Kate Walsh in tonight's final.

The 27-year-old restaurateur was awarded the £100,000-a-year-job by the Amstrad millionaire, following her success in the chocolate branding task.

Yasmina, who had previously won three tasks as project manager, impressed with her adventurous 'Cocoa Electric' chocolates. Kate, who designed his 'n' hers treats called 'Choc D'Amour', lost out at the final hurdle.

The Hull-born winner's job will be within the healthcare section of Sugar's Amscreen firm.

"I think the job itself is going to change my life," she told DS. "I will be working in a completely different industry and I'm going to be leaving catering, which is a massive passion of mine.

"That will be tough because I'm a pig and I love food. I'm going to have go out and pay for it!

"But the money itself, I don't think will change me. I love camping, I love eating out, I love spoiling my friends, so I'll just be the same old 'Mina, but in a different job industry."

Yasmina described fellow finalist Kate as a "formidable contender" and argued that she was probably hired because she is more suited to the role Sugar had in mind for his winner.

Previous Apprentice winners have included Tim Campbell, Lee McQueen and Simon Ambrose. Yasmina is the second female winner of the show, following Michelle Dewberry's success in 2006.
