The Apprentice: Claire Young given better job than winner Lee McQueen

Sir Alan Sugar's rejected contestant to work for Birmingham City managing director Karren Brady

Claire Young came second to Lee McQueen on The Apprentice

The Apprentice runner-up Claire Young has landed her first job since losing out in the hit BBC show – and she’ll be earning more than winner Lee McQueen.

Birmingham City managing director Karren Brady, 39, who featured in the interview stage of the programme, has offered her a sales position.

'If you don't hire Claire, I will,’ she told Sir Alan Sugar, 61, during the interrogation process.

It's thought Claire, 28, will be earning more than the £100k salary 30-year-old Lee was awarded as his prize.

‘I couldn't ask for a better opportunity,’ she tells What’s On TV. ‘Karren Brady is a great role model. It's a great role.’
