The Dragon's Den star reckons Sugar should have fired Lee "Steve" McQueen as soon as he found out the Apprentice hopeful had lied on his CV. Possibly slightly harshly, he also said he wasn't surprised to learn that Lee had missed his first day of work due to illness, telling The Mirror: "That's what happens when you employ a liar," (I guess he means their noses get sore from all that growing?) "I'm so angry that Alan Sugar sent that message out to the country. If you want a job, kids, lie on your CV. I'm disgusted."

The lie was quite a biggie, in fairness. In much the same way that Red Dwarf's Lister sometimes claimed to have been to art college even though he got kicked out ("they had lectures like first thing in the afternoon) McQueen claimed to have been to Thames Valley University for two years when he had only been there for four months. (Thames Valley? While we're lying, why not reach for the stars?)

Bannatyne added: "Claire should have won. She's absolutely fantastic." And plus she's a lady.
