Duncan Bannatyne has criticised Sir Alan Sugars’ decision for hiring Lee McQueen as his new apprentice after the heart stopping final last month.
Bannatyne claimed that Sugar had sent out a wrong message to viewers after hiring Lee due to the fact that he lied on his CV. He had mentioned on his CV that he had attended Thames Valley University for 2 years when in fact he was only present for 4months!
Lee fought for the place of Sir Alan’s apprentice against fellow applicant Clare Young and to most peoples surprise took the victory.
After winning the TV show he reportedly never turned up for his first day claiming he was ill. Dragons Den Duncan Bannatyne said:-
“That’s what happens when you employ a liar. I’m so angry that Alan Sugar sent that message out to the country. If you want a job, kids, lie on your CV. I’m disgusted.”
Bannatyne added: “Claire should have won. She’s absolutely fantastic.”
Personally i loved Lee, i thought he was great entertainment and a fantastic character but the truth is i agree with Duncan. Even forgetting the fact that it promotes the wrong message to kids, his integrity has been shot and he should have been fired immediately!
