Lord Alan Sugar stormed out and abruptly left the boardroom during filming, according to former The Apprentice winner Mark Wright.
The 2014 winner remembered a particularly stressful boardroom meeting, during which the 76-year-old departed the set for an extended period of time mid-filming because people were “getting too comfortable.”
‘One day out of the blue [he] just went ballistic for no reason,’ Mark stated.
Mark claims Lord Sugar became “completely psycho” and compared him to a “wild dog.”
‘He walked out of the boardroom and left everyone in there.’
This comprised the production team, Karren Brady, Nick Hewer, and all of the participants.
‘He left us there for 25 minutes,’ Mark disclosed in the On a Mission podcast, which is hosted by Ellie McKay.
Mark was truly astonished by his abilities to manage a setting, even referring to the scenes as “magic.”
‘I absolutely loved it and he’s the master of the power move!’
He concluded: ‘Being in business with Alan Sugar is like sitting in a boardroom with a hand grenade where someone’s let the pin out.’
Mark worked with Lord Sugar for eight years, insisting he ‘never saw a softer side’, but acknowledged that this style of working isn’t for everyone. However, he found it was ‘the best mentoring ever’, and is now very financially secure.
Mark just sold the web marketing firm he co-founded with Lord Sugar for a whopping £10 million.
Mark’s entrepreneurial adventure has also pleased Lord Sugar.
He previously told PA: ‘A young boy comes from Australia, skint, totally skint. He sees an advert on BBC to enter into The Apprentice programme.
‘He then goes on and wins it and he wins a partnership with me of £250,000 and from acorns, big oak trees have grown and this young lad who came with no money is now going back to Australia with millions.’
The most recent series of The Apprentice is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
