Former professional racing driver?
Does doing a year of formula first qualify him as an ex-professional racing driver?



Also the majority of these candidates seem to already have their own successful businesses mini-empires to fall back on.
Didn’t this used to be full of Car salesmen, estate agents and reps??

I’ll still end up watching it and shouting uncontrollably at the posh Company Directors/Tools who haven’t got a clue on some of the most basic stuff. (the task where they have to buy a list of stuff as cheap as possible always gets me raging as they go to the posh areas of London to look for the ‘budget’ items rolleyes )

I'm expecting great things from Leah Totten



Not just a pretty face...clever too. I suspect that like the rest of them, only in it for the publicity.

I met one of the contestants when on holiday last year. We spent a few days and nights out with her and her husband, and they were really nice people - which is at odds with the interview and chat I just watched on another website. Why would anyone go on TV and not be themselves, thinking it will go well?

rofl claims to be running successful businesses from Monaco. I'm not convinced that any of Monaco's success stories need Lord Sugar's £250k investment.


Zeeshaan Shah, CEO of Property Investment Company.

scratchchinHis company's Facebook page

I'm sure his job title impresses. As far as I can see he claims to be "prestige ltd", but isn't listed as a director, and the company is currently being dissolved. His company seems to be peddling the same so-called investments as all the other chancers at the moment- student lets with "guaranteed yields".

Well he's hardly setting the business world alight..

https://www.duedil.com/company/07280452/prestige-s...

This was where he claims to have been MD previous to his current spare bedroom company.

You're right, the business world certainly is not alight. I see on Duedil that 3 of the 5 companies Alex is involved with are in dissolution. £5k in the bank at Prestige slate's year end?

It just struck me that he and Zeeshaan have companies called Prestige (not that I can find any evidence of Zeeshaan being involved with Prestige Ltd, or any other Ltd company for that matter). I suppose that's the new must-have company name to show how upmarket and aspirational one's company is then?

I'll be selling my Prestige Bullst detectors to coincide with the start of this series, if anyone wants to put down a deposit? Little nervous that they will explode within the first minute though. Perhaps Dynamo Legal can help battle the lawsuits that are sure to follow hehe

if they want decent candidates they need to up the prize significantly.

They get 'tards for a reason.

Make it a 200/250k a year job, and you might get some talent showing up.

When you say "talent" you mean "even bigger bell ends with even higher expectations" yes?

i'm not sure what I mean really smile Although I've just checked and they do get 250k now right? I thought it was a 100k job..........

So my theory is wrong - TV programmes just attract dicks
