Gay hero Alan Sugar

The Apprentice - Alan Sugar is a gay hero

Wednesday, 2 April 2008

'The Apprentice' host Sir Alan Sugar has become a gay hero after featuring some male "eye candy" in the new series.

Amstrad boss Sir Alan has been applauded by gay men for including "hot" candidates Alex Wotherspoon and Michael Sophocles, a former male escort, in the business talent show.

One gay man wrote on an internet forum: "'The Apprentice' didn't used to float my boat but that's all changed this year."

Alan, who is famous for his sarcastic remarks and catchphrase 'You're fired', recently hit back at reports he is unfairly discriminating against working mothers, saying female bosses are more likely to be the ones who show prejudice.

He said: "Be under no illusion. There are women employers who are more ruthless than men. They are more conscious of not employing other women because they feel they're not going to get the value of work out of them."
