Who won The Apprentice last year?
The Apprentice 2018 was won by Sian Gabbidon, who quite literally got in-there-like-swimwear with Lord Sugar after wooing him with her swimwear fashion brand.
According to its website sianmarie.com, the affordable luxury swimwear brand “is to accentuate the feminine figure and empower the wearer by letting them 'make it their own' through the use of reversible and multiway styles combined with lush hand-drawn prints.”
