Thanks Digital Spy. I went on the front page and there's a featured story (now taken down, but shouldn't have been published in the first place) more or less revealing who the winner of the apprentice is. I'll not say it here or say what it said but DS, sort it out.

The winner hasn't been chosen by SAS so you can say what you saw as it won't spoil it for anyone.

Well as there's only one person who the lad mags would WANT to strip naked, I think it's clear who he's "about" to choose!

You can post in the spoiler section.

Oh okay I get it but it doesn't give anything away. It could be one of the girls or *shudder* Ben


Didn't Ben say he wondered how much magazines would want him to pose naked for?

That's what I was thinking.... I reckon SAS only made that comment because of the remarks that were made about Ben. Could be any of the girls (maybe not Lorraine...), or Ben.. or Phillip x

Most likely Lorraine but possibly James

oh I mean Kate or Ben

Please be Kate ...

Where did the article go?

Maybe it *did* reveal the winner..

you know this thread is kind of cryptic without the offending article?

There was an article there. I only saw the headline was something like "Sir Alan will not let winner of apprentice strip for magazine" or something.

Yup that's what I saw too, though when I went to read it the page had been deleted.

Who said it was for a lads mag - it could be one of the lads stripping for a gay mag.

By a process of elimation it must be Lorraine or Moaner that wins then.

Aren't we jumping a bit here. He's probably addressing the issue as it was mentioned last week and it's a general comment.

SAS got very annoyed with Michelle Dewberry flouncing around the celeb mags, so this is just a general response - whoever wins will not be allowed to flaunt themselves in celeb/lads' mags.

It's back on

since the winner hasn't even been decided I think your all being a bit silly, tbh...don't you guys know how the show works by now? They don't even pick the winner till a few days before the episode airs....

It's probably a comment that airs on this weeks show or something...

Told the Sun? Didn't Noorul actually say that in the board room? I wonder if they even bothered to interview him.

It's a weird article. I think the basic gist is that SAS doesn't want any fame seekers on the show. It may mislead some people into guessing the winner, but I don't think that was the intention.

It's odd...

I thought the headline said Sir Alan bans naked winner baps

Could be anyone. Sounds like a general comment to me.

Doh !! I'm torn now I want Kate to win but wouldn't mind ....

If you look at the timing, it is Sugar talking about what Noorul said in the Boardroom about Ben's ambitions. So, Kate doesn't enter into it.

I just read it as a general comment arising from Nooral's comments about Ben on Fired. Just AS saying he can't be doing with an apprentice more interested in the media that in the business opportunity. Nothing wrong with that.

How can this be seen as either DS or AS giving away the winner's name?

And if you read my comment I never said he was talking about Kate.

I think the same as you and I have read nothing that says who the eventual winner will be... it just says AS doesn't want anyone taking off their clothes if they work for him!

I haven't read any of this thread for obvious reasons. But, once the series is all over, and the winner is announced, could the OP please come back and sum up whether the "spoiling" was an actual spoiler and what the article was?
