IT'S not long now until 18 fledgling entrepreneurs battle it out to win Lord Alan Sugar's £250,000 investment. It’s a highly sought-after prize - but according to last series' finalist Kathryn Burn, sometimes you’re better off coming second.
The pyjama business owner, 30, from Swindon, says it was a “win-win” to get to the finals of The Apprentice, and she's glad to have lost after landing deals without Lord Sugar's help.
