The Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton  reveals how she shattered cruel 'bimbo' label and kept Lord Sugar sweet when he severed ties with majority of show champions - as she issues warning to future contestants


A fresh-faced bubbly, blonde bombshell and just 24-years-old Dr Leah Totton was underestimated by The Apprentice viewers from the get-go when she appeared in 2013.

Yet more than a decade on from winning the show and Lord Alan Sugar's £250,000 investment, Dr Leah has continued to prove her critics wrong - launching a chain of cosmetic clinics that have been valued at £7 million. Season 18 of The Apprentice is set to conclude next week, when piemaker Phil Turner takes on gym owner Rachel Woolford in the final (pictured with aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell) In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Harpreet insisted that Apprentice boss Lord Sugar had 'no problem' with her business of five years being jointly run by a member of her family and BBC producers built up the tension as 'a bit of fun TV editing.'
