Celebrity Apprentice's Lord Alan Sugar reveals which celebrities he likes on the show

Notoriously prickly Lord Alan Sugar has revealed which Celebrity Apprentice Australia stars riled him up the most during filming.

Appearing on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Thursday, the 74-year-old admitted he was less than impressed with some of the cast. 

The UK billionaire confessed that he did have a soft spot for Nova radio host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, as well as fashion queen, Camilla Franks.

‘I didn’t know who he was when I first met him but I grew to like him,’ Alan said of the Nova star. 

He called Kaftan queen Camilla ’emotional and eccentric’ but had no complaints about the work she put in on the show.

‘She’s very creative but also a little bit emotional. If you keep watching you might see a little bit of the character come out,’ he began.  

Surprise! Of Nova radio host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, he said: ‘I didn’t know who he was when I first met him but I grew to like him’

‘You’ve got to love her really,’ he added. Kyle and Jackie O both agreed with her assessment of Camilla.  

Jackie later said she ‘fell in love’ with The Block’s Shaynna Blaze on the show and asked for Lord Sugar’s opinion. 

‘Oh. Right,’ he gruffly replied. ‘We were in the boardroom a couple of times and she looked like she was about to burst out into tears.’ 

‘Emotional and eccentric’: He called fashion queen Camilla Franks ’emotional and eccentric’ but had no complaints about the work she put in on the show 

 He continued: ‘She looked like she had seen a ghost. Like a rabbit in the headlights.’ 

Jackie and Lord Sugar both agreed that Martha was a star on the show. He referred to her as a ‘bright kid’ and agreed that she gets underestimated. 

Not so keen! He was lightly critical of bookies’ favourite Shaynna Blaze, saying she frequently appeared to be on the verge of tears. ‘She looked like she had seen a ghost. Like a rabbit in the headlights’

 Lord Sugar also sung the praises of his boardroom offsiders Janine Allis and Lorna Jane.

‘They are very helpful in the business approach,’ he said of the duo.

The UK billionaire previously admitted that he didn’t know any of the supposed celebrity cast before filming, with the exception of fellow Brit, Ross Noble.  

Celebrity Apprentice Australia continues on Channel Ten, Sunday, 7pm 

Bright: Surprisingly, Martha Kalifatidis – who has been at the centre of claims she was unpopular with castmates – appeared to be on his good side, calling her a ‘bright kid’ who had been underestimated
