Sir Alan IS Hired

Jenny 'the bitch' Celerier, mentioned this a couple of weeks ago.

Does Sir Salad of Tate and Lyle need to be seated on his own booster seat?

Staff at Virgin Radio have come up with photographic evidence to support, (ahem), this mystery chair without which the old man ensure would not be able to look down on those poor unsuspecting candidates as he fires them.

Look very carefully at the picture, there's a makeshift wooden plinth which increases his seated height by at least three inches thus enabling him to look more dominant. Sir Salad is only 5ft 6 inches tall and he looks tiny in comparison to some of the contestants

The 3ft square inch thick board which stands on inch-thick lifts at its four corners, was spotted by staff at Virgin Radio, who quizzed contestants about it after they left the show. The Beeb then cocked up last week when a quick snapshot showed the platform and the game was up.

A spokesman for The Apprentice insisted the platform is not there to boost Sir Alan's height, but to hold his chair in place.

"Being a swivel chair, there is a wooden frame, bolted to the floor into which the five wheels are sunk – to anchor it for camera positions."

So what about Nick and Margaret's chairs then?
