Channel
veteran Sir Alan Sugar had another lucky escape just a week after stepping down
as Amstrad boss, when his light aircraft skidded off the runway in wet
conditions and went nose-up at a Manchester
airfield.
An unharmed
Sugar was reported to have quipped he had more chance of dying from the tuna
sandwich that a “very nice lady in the clubhouse” knocked up for him while he waited
for a car to pick him up. The aircraft itself sustained minor damage.
Reports
that unnamed Apprentice rejects were spotted hanging round the airfield just
prior to the crash were dismissed but news has emerged that one of this year’s failed candidates, Alex
Wotherspoon (24), has elected not to follow Sir Alan into the IT industry after signing a modelling contract with the same
agency that employs Agyness Deyn.
