Claire Young was accused of cheating by a rival contestant from the hit TV show The Apprentice.
Claire faced claims that she broke the rules during the ’supercars’ task showing next week. The cheating row began around claims that the young retail buyer had telephoned friends off-camera to increase business for her team.
One of Sugars rules states that all phone calls have to be made while on camera, by calling friends off-camera this would be deemed as a breach of Sugars rule and could have resulted in her being forced to leave the show.
A show insider said:-
“The other contestant claims Claire made a couple of cheeky phone calls to mates. The others went up the wall.
“Claire pleaded her innocence to show bosses saying some of her jealous rivals had got the wrong end of the stick. In the end they believed her and no action was taken.”
