'Apprentice' Lord Sugar reveals Tom Pellereau nail file business plans

Lord Sugar has revealed that his business with Tom Pellereau will be based around the inventor's curved nail file invention.

Sugar admitted on You're Fired that he was more excited by Pellereau's previous product than the chair device for bad backs he presented a business plan for on the BBC One show.

"The chair is going to need a bit of tweaking," he said. "We might turn it into a nail file. Tom's been very successful with a lot of products and has had great success with them in America.

"Things may have gone wrong somewhere and we hope to pick that up and enhance them."

He continued: "I am a product man at heart and that's what Tom is all about. Tom's quirky enough and there's something there that we are going to do.

"I have a gut feeling and I've done lots of things in my life through gut feeling. He's the man with the product."

Pellereau backed Sugar's decision to shift the focus back to the nail file, claiming that he had "a load more ideas in this area".

Sugar offered support to runner-up Helen Milligan, admitting that she would have been a runaway winner in previous series when he was looking for an employee.

"Helen showed to her current employer, he or she is going to have to be a bit of a mug to not promote her. They've seen what she's capable of doing," he said.
