Celerier: 'Sir Alan has favourites'

Jenny Celerier has accused Sir Alan Sugar of having a "special circle" of favourite candidates on The Apprentice.

The fired candidate said that it was incredibly hard for anybody outside of Sugar's elite group to win the show.

She told DS: "I do think that there was a huge bias towards some people, meaning you were a lot more likely to be fired if you weren't in that special circle."

Celerier added: "He very, very clearly had a number of favourites in the competition, which were people that felt they could do no wrong at certain points.

"It gave them a sense that they were invincible and everybody else would be on the chopping block, which as a consequence doesn't make it a hugely fair competition."

The 36-year-old single mum singled out Claire Young for criticism, describing her as being like "a bulldozer" when it suited her.

"As much as she is an amazing mind and an intelligent woman, she's not always a team player and she's more of a one-man-band," said Celerier.
