As lovers of the show will know, last night saw the inevitable climax of the 5th season of the Apprentice with Sir Alan Sugar “Sralan” announcing his new apprentice. Yasmina Siadatan, a restaurateur, who beat Kate Walsh (the blonde one) in an exciting finale. 

The series which saw record audiences with the debut episode drawing in 8.1m viewer. As the show is now over  I thought we would take a look at the some of the quotes from one of the ‘most belligerent men in business’.

1. “You are not here to enhance some form of media career, so if any of you gentlemen are thinking of prancing around in your Calvin Kleins, showing off your three-piece-suite bulge, you can forget about it.”

2. “I’ve written books on advertising. Cheque books.”

3. “If you survive here, I promise you this: as sure as I’ve got a hole in my bloody a**e, when it’s down to two of you, people that are nice about you now, will not be.”

4. (after Ben’s indecision over who to take back into the boardroom) I hope you’re bringing in people for the right reasons. I hope you’re not thinking about James, that there might be a village missing an idiot somewhere…

5. I don’t like liars, I don’t like cheats. I don’t like bullshitters. I don’t like schmoozers. I don’t like arse-lickers.

6. I was born in Hackney. When you’re born in Hackney and you do well in life, you move to Chigwell.

7. “Could be you’re here because you’re good with words and know the right thing to say at the right time. I know the words to Candle in the Wind. It don’t make me Elton John.”

8. “Howard I’m thinking whether I should get you a cushion because sitting on the fence there you could get a sore arse. So are you gonna talk up?”
