She's voiced her dislike for this year's series of The Apprentice after taking part in the BBC One business competitiion in 2022, and Amy Anzel raised eyebrows as she launched a petition to replace Lord Alan Sugar at the helm.

Amy, who was fired halfway through the process by the business magnate, is calling for the Amstrad founder to be switched for Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett.

Amy, the owner of Hollywood Browzer Beauty, shared a petition on her social media saying: "Offiicial petition for Lord Sugar to be replaced by Steven Barlett before The Apprentice is ruined beyond repair." Her petition launched prompted 2023 winner Marnie Swindells , who won £250,000 of investment from Lord Sugar for her boxing gym business, to respond with the message: "Have a day off." And she added a yawning emoji.

"Ahahah just being honest, I would + could never - there's only one Lord Sugar!

But I appreciate it, Amy x" said the 30-year-old founder and former CEO of social media marketing agency The Social Chain, which he set up from his bedroom in Manchester. @stopwaitaminute told Steven and Amy: "Dragons Den is a better programme too.
