The Apprentice: Alex wins my heart!

The Apprentice's Alex Epstein: Copyright BBC

I absolutely loved this year’s ‘boob’ (remember James McQuillan last year?!) contestant, Alex Epstein. He was without a doubt a total gent who clearly has a bright future in comedy.

Honest, funny and cuddly, Alex only really came on my radar in week two when he was the victim of Melissa’s misdirected rage.

The poor guy looked like he’d been slapped in the face, and after then he became my firm favourite. I was made up nasty Paloma got the boot last week for laying into him (unfairly in my view) in the boardroom.

Lord Sugar didn’t like that form of bullying and sent her packing, but this week Alex had no escape and talked his way into being fired.

He could not admit his mistake, praised his whole team, and then brought the wrong one back in the boardroom. He then proceeded to yell/scream like a small child at Chris when he continued to talk over him.

I loved his cute array of ties though, which were always too short and his puddle coloured suits were adorable too.

Basically Alex isn’t a business man, but he is a little fashion icon in the making and will no doubt land a TV gig in the next few months.

Comedy (albeit comedy where people laugh at him rather than with him) is undoubtedly his forte.

As for who is left, well I think Stella v Liz is a safe bet for the final, even if they both get orange-er with each passing week; I won't hold that against them.
