Alex Wotherspoon: Sir Alan Sugar says I shouldn't be a model

Sexy TV show finalist has had plenty of offers

Alex Wotherspoon came joint third in The Apprentice along with HeleneSpeight

The Apprentice finalist Alex Wotherspoon says Sir Alan Sugar has told him not to take up full-time modelling.

The big boss on the BBC show thinks Alex, 24, who came joint third this year behind winner Lee McQueen, is more than a pretty face.

‘Sir Alan texted me saying, “I know you are business through and through, and I know if you go into modelling you would do it alongside",’ he says.

'It made me feel good to have his support. I am so positive about business and now I want people to know I'm serious about it.'

As well as modelling offers, Alex has been approached about a job with Europe's biggest bank.

‘I can’t talk about money, but it would probably rival Lee's salary,’ he adds.
