So much for his desire to be a businessman!

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/realityt...modelling.html

Could have sworn he wanted to be a businessman.

Still, I guess it's easy quick money (must be easier than all tasks on the Apprentice!) but from wanting to be Sugar's Apprentice to a model - how bizarre. Life, stranger than fiction.

It's all he ever wanted, imho - a way of getting some exposure on TV to boost his profile. He has done modelling in the past after all. Very much doubt there will be any lasting interest once this years Apprentice fades from peoples minds. I'd also place good money on the source being Alex himself....

Mind you, it's about his level, given his general lack of business acumen...

He did modelling before? I didn't know that. I guess if he can make more money from modelling than some business job he'll opt for the modelling. Just don't mention it on your cv when going for a big business job, Alex.

There are a few pictures of Alex the model at the Heat World site.

I gotta look! For purely academic reasons, of course. I'm er.. doing a dissertation on businessmen becoming models and how it affects the global ecomony. Yes, that's it.

If you're looking for 'model businessmen' I can recommend a site called MenAtPlay(NSFW).

Doubt that's what Alex is up for though ...

All I gotta say to the above poster's comments is

!!!!!!!!!!

To help with your dissertation and to save you valuable time trawling the net here you are

Awful piccies, especially the last one

They're ghastly!

MenAtPlay are actually a lot more flattering.

Are Heat trying to strangle his modelling days at birth?

Wow - they're terrible! They look like they were photographed in the 1970s! And why didn't he have a shave? Most models have clean shaven faces. Hasn't he got a shaver?

Accepting he could be making some easy money, frankly, it's bit pathetic. His crediblity is now zero. From speaking out in the boardroom claiming how much he wanted the job to now doing lame model shoots. Let's hope the money he makes will make him afford a shaver.

My word!!!

Dire stuff!!

Apparently Heat wanted Raef to do a similar sort of photo shoot and he declined. I remember him mentioning in an interview somewhere....



His credibility was already zero, it's now sunk in to minus figures. When the modelling work dry's up he won't be taken seriously by anyone in the business world, so I hope the short term gain is worth it.

And this was the guy desperate to be Sir Alan's apprentice. Whatever.

And this was the guy who said Lucinda didn't really want the job unlike the rest of them

The funny thing is, even his agents have told him they are only interested in him because of his Apprentice apperence....

So that should really clue him in that in six months time max they'll be waving him goodbye!

"He said: 'I’d get my pants off, but only if they money was right."

The aforementioned website must be notified - they're not short of readies ...

Coming soon to BBC1:

Britain's Next Top Model Apprentice

Presented by Tyra Banks and Alan Sugar.

Alex definitely wouldn't win that.....

My eyes! My beautiful eyes!

*passes over some eye wash*

Lol

LOL , SAS really cannot work people out can he?

"Promising young man" , yeah right

Oh my, those pictures are terrible!

Well when I first saw them the first 6 letters of your username came to mind

tbf - he didn't win - so why not take advantage of modelling interest? Is anyone on this forum denying that if the price was right they wouldn't make the most of their assets - within reason of course? This is no mickey mouse model agency - and many high fliers have put their career on hold for the highly lucrative business of modelling. Probably won't last long, but you've heard the expression make hay while the sun shines. Much as it may grieve his detractors, Alex was very successful in his pre Apprentice career; he's a young man (no longer only 24) and can always return to it. No doubt when he returns to the cut throat business world he will take with him the lessons he learned on The Apprentice i.e. he doesn't take criticism easily - but if he returns with a bigger bank balance, then good luck to him.

He did want the job and given the opportunity do you really believe that he would have become involved in modelling?

Had Lucinda become The Apprentice would she have been given the opportunity of commenting on fashion at Royal Ascot? Methinks not.

The BB girls always do well off shoots, I don't see any harm in reality show males following suit. The pictures are clearly a mickey take of models! That said, they're still pretty cringey.
