Apprentice Alex turns to wedding dresses
12:41pm Wednesday 14th May 2008
BOLTON businessman Alex Wotherspoon will be seen trying to sell wedding dresses tonight in week seven of BBC reality show, The Apprentice.
He will be joined by his fellow business wannabes at the NEC in Birmingham. Teams have to choose carefully between selling cheap frocks or expensive designer dresses costing thousands of pounds.
One contestant has tears in their eyes as they face Sir Alan Sugar in the boardroom, and another contestant dresses up in a fluffy bear suit in a desperate attempt to drum up sales.
The Apprentice is on BBC1 at 9pm tonight.
