Noorul Choudhury blasts 'Apprentice' contestants

Thursday, 30 April 2009

'The Apprentice' star Philip Taylor is a "sleaze".

Noorul Choudhury - who was fired from the reality business show last night (29.04.09) after weeks of underperformance in the show's tasks - has accused the Durham real estate agent of "cracking onto" every female he sees, including one of the programme's producers.

Noorul, 33, said: "Philip couldn't help himself. He is one of life's natural flirts. It wasn't enough for him to crack on to all the girls in the house ? he had to go for one of the producers as well.

"He would lay on the charm while we were filming the tasks. But wisely she saw through it and he had to find love elsewhere."

Philip - who lead one of the show's teams, Ignite in this week's challenge, which saw the contestants trying to sell antiques and bric-a-brac - is currently dating another of the show's contestants, Kate Walsh.

The science teacher claims Phil only settled for Kate after other women in the luxury London apartment the contestants are housed in during the show rejected him.

Noorul also lashed out at contestant Ben Clarke, insisting he was in the show to get famous and not for a chance to work for Sir Alan Sugar.

He said: "I just thought Ben was in it for the fame, not to actually work for Sir Alan. On the first day in the house he suddenly announced, 'We're all famous - how great is that?'

"He kept going on about how much he could make. All he wanted to do was pose naked with a rugby ball in some magazine."

Alan was reportedly furious when he found out about Ben's naked amibitions - which viewers saw Noorul accuse him of in their boardroom showdown last night.

A source said: "Sir Alan is not happy about Ben's plans. He thinks it puts a black mark against his name. Anyone working for him has to be dedicated to the job not, as he puts it, 'fannying around' in the media.

"Sir Alan may search for an apprentice on a TV show but that doesn't mean he endorses tacky celebrity behaviour."
