The Capitalist: Lord Sugar forsakes Zoom etiquette at Apprentice Q&A |
Lord Sugar’s Zoom faux pas at Apprentice Q&A, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Nimby campaign and a dry January for the BBPA; catch up on the latest gossip in The Capitalist
A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR
Lord Sugar might be the one getting fired if he doesn’t better his professionalism during his appearances at public events. The billionaire business mogul zoomed into a media launch for the 20th season of The Apprentice this week, but was distracted from answering questions put to him by dozens of assembled journalists when his phone rang.
Organisers had to quickly put Alan on mute while he took the call, putting questions to Baroness Brady and Tim Campbell MBE instead. He also appeared distracted at other points during the Q&A, and later revealed he’d been tapping away on a computer just out of shot as he had a bill to pay. If the show wasn’t doing so well – it’s still pulling in an average audience of over 5.6m per season – Lord Sugar might be the one hauling his suitcase to the black cab and heading home.
