I Like Kate and would like it if she won
Shame James isn't in the final. I would have like Sir Alan to give him a chance. I think Yasmina will win she has been a dark horse all through the contest. I think with seeing pictures of Kate and Phil together and reading reports that they are planning to wed. If Kate was to win then she wouldn't have the time to do all that that's why I think Yasmina will win.
APPRENTICE sidekick Margaret Mountford last night quit the show.
The white-haired cult favourite, 56, is leaving after five years to finish her doctorate on ancient Egyptian manuscripts.
Corporate lawyer Margaret and colleague Nick Hewer act as Sir Alan Sugar’s “eyes and ears” on the BBC1 show.
The pair watch the wannabes bumble through their tasks before reporting to the business guru.
But she has told Sir Alan she will bow out after tomorrow night’s finale to concentrate on her PhD in papyrology.
A show insider said: “This will come as a big blow to Sir Alan and the millions of viewers.
“Margaret and Nick have almost as big a following as Sir Alan.
“She is very sad to be leaving but she feels the time is right.
“When she started I don’t think she had any idea just how popular it would become.”
The source added: “She has enjoyed every minute but it is very hard work and she wants to go out on a high.
“Margaret has told Sir Alan, who understands her reasons and thanked her for her hard work.”
Bosses will start their hunt for a replacement after the final episode of the current series, which airs tomorrow night.
Margaret met Sir Alan when she advised him on his firm Amstrad in the ’80s, and she joined the show at the start in 2005.
Tomorrow’s final sees Kate Walsh and Yasmina Siadatan, both 27, battle it out for a job with Sir Alan, 62.
Noooo. Won't be the same. :(
Oh no! :( Margaret is a legend!
I will miss Margaret I wonder who they will try and replace her with?
I thought it was already filmed? So surely her leaving won't affect the final?!
But that's sad i like Nick and Margaret!
Well this series will still have her and we will see her tomorrow night in the final but I was wondering if she will be replaced in the next series of The Apprentice?
Oh right yeh, so she won't be on next year. WHO will fill her shoes?!
