'Apprentice' Claire: I'd sleep with Lee

Apprentice runner-up Claire Young has admitted that she fancies winner Lee McQueen.

The pair recently sparked rumours of a romance after McQueen was spotted "acting strangely" during a visit to the retail buyer's home.

Young confessed that she finds her former rival attractive despite the fact that he is in a long-term relationship, saying: "Lee’s my type of man - rough and ready. I’d shag him, but only with his girlfriend’s permission!"

However, she said she also has a soft spot for fellow finalist Alex Wotherspoon.

Now quotes her as saying: "Alex was really good looking, but he’s only 24. I caught myself perving over him one day and I thought: 'God, this is so wrong!'"

The 29-year-old lost out to McQueen in Wednesday’s final of the BBC show.
