Harpreet Kaur Thakrar has revealed whether she is still in contact with Alan Sugar two years on from having bought him out of her business after winning The Apprentice.

Lord Sugar, now 77, awarded Harpreet, 33, a £250, 000 investment for her desserts brand Oh So Yum when she won the BBC show back in 2022. It was then announced in 2023 that she had bought back his shares and she has since left the business herself to pursue other projects.

The entrepreneur reflected on her experience on the Apprentice and shared an update on her relationship with Lord Sugar whilst speaking to the Mirror recently. Harpreet revealed that she’s still in contact with the Amstrad founder and feels that she could turn to him for advice at any time.

Asked about her relationship with Lord Sugar now, she said: “We’re on really good terms. We kind of parted ways really amicably and he’s been in touch quite a lot since”. The former candidate added: “I’ve spoken to him since”.

She continued by sharing in our interview last week: “I feel like Lord Sugar is always there in the background y’know. I feel like if I wanted any advice or wanted to speak to him about other opportunities, I’m sure he would be all ears. So yeah, we’ve got a really good relationship, for sure”.

Harpreet later teased that Lord Sugar is a “very decisive person”. Opening up about what he’s like on the long-running TV show, whilst discussing the new series, she said: “I don’t think he makes any decisions in a rash way”.

She said: “If he likes someone, he will continue to give them the chance and the opportunity regardless of what other candidates are gonna say or try to throw you under the bus. If he can see potential in you, he will continue to put you through the process – even if you have been in the boardroom a number of times”.

Harpreet described taking part in the Apprentice as “life changing”. Alongside winning the investment, she ended up getting a relationship out of the experience – with her now married to her co-star Akshay Thakrar, 32. She told us that she also “learned a lot” from being on the show.

She said: “I’ve grown so much in confidence. I’ve been exposed to so many different industries]and] different people that I would never have]otherwise]. Y’know I’ve learnt a lot about myself. I’ve learnt a lot about business”.

Further discussing what else she has taken away from the process, she said: “I’m more confident and the other biggest thing I’ve got now is I’ve got such a supportive community. Y’know as the first South Asian winner of the show, I’ve got so much backing from my community, which has just been amazing and I’m really, really grateful for that. Y’know they’re always championing and supporting me”.

After leaving Oh So Yum!, Harpreet is now enjoying coaching other small businesses and being a public speaker. She also has her own radio show on the BBC Asian Network and just last month gave a TEDx presentation to some students.

Harpreet – who’s just moved to London with her husband – teased of the future: “I’ve got a really exciting business opportunity in the works as we speak. So I’m gonna get my head down for a few months and then hopefully I can reveal all. […] I’ve got quite a few exciting things coming up”.

Asked if she’s open to more TV projects, she said that there had been “opportunities” previously that she wasn’t able to pursue because she was running a business. She said: “I do think that moving to London now I’ll definitely be open to other media opportunities and other TV roles”. Harpreet concluded: “If there’s an opportunity that fits and aligns with me then I’d definitely be open to it”.

Jane Fonda has revealed that she saved her grandson from a bear in a terrifying moment. &nbsp,

The story was told as Jane appeared on Netflix’s podcast titled Skip Intro with her son Troy O’Donovan Garity. The 51-year-old actor was asked to share a story with the audience about his mother that not many people would know.

Troy – whose dad is Jane’s late ex-husband Tom Hayden – went on to tell host Krista Smith: “She pushed a bear out of her bedroom… She heard something so she left the bedroom in the middle of the night to go see what the sound was. And when she came back in, the screen door was dismantled and there was a bear in the bedroom, sniffing over the crib”.

When Jane was asked how she reacted to the scary incident, she held up her hands and screamed: “Roar”! before Troy jokingly apologised to the sound man on the podcast for his mom’s shouting. The actress went on to admit the timing of the incident was lucky as she had just been shown how to react in such a situation.

She said: “I had just learned what to do if you’re close to a bear. And that was it]a scream]. And get very big, I opened my bathrobe”.

Despite Jane’s successful scare tactics, it’s claimed the bear “urinated on the rug” before it left. The actress added: “And then]it] walked back to the door and sat down and I did, I pushed it out”.

Last month, the actress hit out at US President Donald Trump in her SAG Awards speech. While the activist didn’t mention the president by name when she hit out at the administration, she made her thoughts clear in her her thinly-veiled dig. She said “a lot of people are going to be hurt by what’s coming our way” before warning the audience “we must not isolate, we must stay in community, we must help the vulnerable”.

During her speech, she praised actor Sebastian Stan, who plays the felon in The Apprentice, and said: “Though you may hate the behaviour of your character, you have to understand and empathise with the traumatised person you’re playing”.

Georgia Horsley is “struggling” and feels “humiliated” and is focused on ‘ protecting her son ‘ after her McFly husband Danny Jones was caught on camera kissing his I’m A Celeb campmate Maura Higgins after a boozy BRITs afterparty.

The former Miss England model has seen upcoming work appearances cancelled and was due to appear in public on Saturday (7 March) alongside her Mum’s the Word podcast co-host and pal Kelsey Parker at the Baby Show at London’s Excel. But a source close to the former model says that the mum of one will not be appearing and she is having a tough time and has put all work on hold.

The insider added that Georgia is also keen to shield the couple’s seven-year-old son Cooper from the very public fallout. “Georgia is struggling at the moment. She isn’t just having to navigate the circumstances, but doing it publicly.

” She has been humiliated. People are quick to forget there is a child in the middle of this mess”, they claimed”. Georgia is putting her focus into their son, Cooper. For now, Georgia will not be participating in any work commitments, including The Baby Show, and any podcast filming. “

Addressing her anticipated appearance at The Baby Show, the source added”, With thousands of people attending, and a number of media titles, it wouldn’t be right for her to attend and speak, when the news is only going to have been a week old by this point. “

” How can Georgia be expected to know what to say to attendees and the media, when she doesn’t know what to say to her nearest and dearest right now? Georgia is a strong person and will find her way, but she is prioritising their son over everything else right now to ensure he is protected. “

Georgia married Danny – who is due to appear on TV on Thursday night in a pre-recorded segment – at St Mary’s Priory Church in Old Malton, Yorkshire in 2014, but their strong union was thrown into doubt when Danny was filmed by a fellow party guest at a BRIT Awards afterparty, when the pair were seen chatting together much of the night and seemingly locking lips at one point in a video that swiftly went viral.

Georgia, Danny, both 38, and Maura, 34, have all remained silent on the scandal thus far – but it hasn’t stopped fans from expressing their dismay as the video in question went viral, Danny was widely slammed for his actions, as a married man. Danny had shared a snap on Instagram from the awards night, standing beside KSI and bandmate Tom Fletcher, with the caption:” The collab you neeeeeeeed “

Fuming fans soon took to the comments section to slam the singer. One read:” Wtf Danny. You are married with a child. Fans are meant to respect you but how can they when you don’t even respect yourself. “Someone else wrote” Oh Danny you had it all man”, while another comment read:” Here before the comments get turned off or limited! “

Another fan came to the under-fire musician’s defence, penning:” Omg EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP! These are people’s lives. Leave them alone. “And another commented:” If you have come here commenting in the most negative way, when we don’t know all the facts shame on you, for trying to bring somebody down. “

Danny and Maura – who recently split from her former TOWIE beau Pete Wicks – met each other on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! last year, which he went on to win. Viewers saw Danny, his wife and their little boy enjoy an emotional and tearful reunion after Danny was crowned King of the Jungle and Georgia later revealed she’d been left to sort out the family’s house move while he was away.

In January, she admitted she was booking herself into a solo countryside retreat to detox from the stresses of life, confessing that she felt ‘ burnt out ‘ after a month of solo parenting while Danny was in the jungle, which he went on to win.

Pamela met David on the set of Knight Rider, with the pair marrying in 1989. However, the couple filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Following a contentious divorce, both Pamela and David were awarded custody of one daughter.

Pamela had previously opened up about the end of her marriage to David, explaining how alcohol played a role in her requesting a divorce. “Everybody thought (David) was the golden star in swimming trunks on the beach with Pamela Anderson, but the drink was taking over his life”, she told the Daily Mail.

“To me, he was the man who fell over on the bedroom floor”, she said. “He has a disease, just like cancer”, she said. “And just like cancer, it ate away at our family from the inside”.
