Alex Wotherspoon may have missed out on the top job offered by Sir Alan Sugar on The Apprentice but the finalist already has chances on a new career: modelling.

The 25-year-old entrepreneur from Bolton, who has done modelling work in the past, last week joined the same modelling agency as Agyness Deyn and Yasmin Le Bon: Models 1 - and is according to some weekend tabloid already up for major campaigns such as Aquascutum and Hackett.

“Alex might turn out to be the real winner of The Apprentice,” a friend told Sunday Mirror. “Companies have been falling over themselves to snap him up. He is weighing his options.”

The youngest ever finalist of the Apprentice, Alex only just missed out on a six-figure job with Sir Alan’s firm Amstrad, which instead went to recruitment sales manager Lee McQueen.
