Despite Stella English winning the Apprentice, it seems that Chris has now been offered a job quietly behind the scenes to work alongside Stella in her new role at Viglen. This hasn't been reporrted elsewhere but presumably this is a reliable source.

Didn't Lord Sugar say that on the following You're Hired programme anyway?

Well I hope Chris will turn it down. I'm sure he could get a much better job now after the exposure.

Yes, he said his door was always open to Chris but if Chris chose not to come and talk to him he was sure he would do well anyway - which was as near as it could be to a job offer.
I think he said something similar to Ruth Badger didn't he, but Ruth chose to set up her own business. |

Sugar didn't say he was offering him a job.
Anyone want to Twitter Sugar and say "what's the point of the Apprentice show if you hire both finalists?" Love to see him try to answer that. The whole show is a con but we still watch it! It's hard to respect Sugar when we know he's just faking his concern and doubt over which one to hire. Perhaps a career in acting beckons, Al?

Personally I don't think Chris will be working for Sugar.
Also, it was obvious the hardest decision he has ever made on The Apprentice was when choosing between Kate and Yasmina, he emphasised that in every interview and i'm sure he at one point said he wanted to hire both but obviously couldn't. What he said to Chris on the You're Hired show was what he said to Kate last year, i.e. she has all my contact details and that he would be there for her etc etc.. |

He won't last long - I agre with the interviewer who said he has the hallmarks of a quitter.
He'll get bored/frustrated and then just quit |

As i understand it, Lord Sugar is perfectly entitled to hire, anyone who's been a contestant on The Apprentice, outside of The Apprentice, if he likes the candidate.

I don't see what the problem is. If he/his companies can afford it, it's up to him.

Quickness to bore is usually a sign of superior intelligence which is something that none of the interviewers or panel were in disagreement with when it came to Chris.

It was pretty obvious this was going to happen. Chris can earn much more in banking though....

BTW Is the winners actual salary £100k? In many jobs a "job worth £100k" would have a salary of, perhaps, £70k - as the employers pension costs, NI etc. would bring the package up to the quoted figure. |

He's totally entitled to hire anyone he wants. I recall in Kristina's year, there were rumours she was offered a better, higher paid job than Simon, but turned it down and went for something else.
It's surely no different than Simon Cowell signing up the runner-up on The X Factor. If Sugar thinks someone's worth hiring, then he's entirely entitled to hire them. |

What happened to the salary after a year then? Maybe LS puts it down once he's paying which is why folk don't last long.

Perhaps a career in acting beckons, Al? ![]() On the subject of Stella, I'm a bit disappointed in the role she appears to have been given (according to her interview on BBC Breakfast). I believe the MD of Viglen labelled her an 'admin queen' during the interview process. It would seem that she's been given a PM role but one which focuses on the 'admin' rather than anything creative. If Sugar has also offered Chris a role (and it happens to be in Viglen) I hope he's offered them fairly and not given the sexy creative front office stuff to Chris and the back office dull processing to Stella. That wouldn't be PC in my book. Can't understand why either of them would want to work there anyway though. |

rubbish source, they wouldn't be the only one to pick up on it so why are they the only ones reporting it? wouldn't believe it myself.
