'Tell them to Oprah Winfrey' Lord Sugar in thinly-veiled dig at Meghan Markle 'sob story'

Lord Alan Sugar, 74, took to his Twitter, telling fans he did not want to hear any sob stories. Instead, those people should talk to Oprah Winfrey, he wrote.“I told them I don’t do cuddles,” Alan tweeted.“I don’t want to hear any sob stories if you have any of them you can tell them Oprah Winfrey.” (sic)His comment seemed to have been a slight dig at Meghan, who sat down for a tell-all interview with the former US chat show host back in March 2021.The Duchess of Sussex was joined by her husband Prince Harry as she claimed she was “silenced” and “did anything” the Royal Family told her to do.The former actress stunned Oprah with the revelation that a certain member of the Royal Family had allegedly shared their concerns about the skin colour of her and Harry’s firstborn, Archie.In his tweet, Alan made it clear he did not want his contestants to bore him with their sob stories.The business-styled reality show returned with its first episode of season 16 last night, which saw entrepreneur Harry Mahmood become the first sacked candidate.The men and women were split into two teams as they embarked on their first assignment, with Akshay Thkrar leading his group while Kathryn Louise Burn took charge of her pack.The goal was to create a brand for a cruise ship along with an advertising campaign that would be pitched to executives in the travel industry.Both teams underwhelmed Alan’s associates, but it was the men’s team in particular who left a sour impression after failing to include the name of the brand on their logo, which associates thought resembled a turd.In an interview with Metro, Harry explained his frustration with the task, saying he was upset that his time on the show was cut before he even had a chance to show his.
