The Apprentice winners: where are they now?

Over the last ten years, The Apprentice has awarded its annual winners a high-paid job, or more recently, investment in their business ideas.

But what actually happened to the lucky winners after the cameras stopped rolling - and where are they now?

2005: Tim Campbell
After becoming the first winner of The Apprentice, Tim Campbell joined Alan Sugar's company, Amstrad. Here, the former London Underground transport manager launched the Integra anti-wrinkle device, which went on sale at Argos and Harrods.

He left in March 2007 to set up the social enterprise Bright Ideas Trust, which helps young entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2012, he was awarded an MBE for his services to enterprise culture.

He is now head of client services for recruitment firm Alexander Mann Solutions, as well as London's ambassador for training and enterprise, appointed by mayor Boris Johnson.

2006: Michelle Dewberry
Michelle Dewberry went on to work with Lord Sugar on the launch of Xenon Green, which specialised in computer equipment disposal - but was one of only two winners to leave their £100,000-a-year job before the year was up.

She, like Campbell, set up her own consultancy firm to support aspiring young entrepreneurs, and also launched websites chocnomise.com, thedailychic.com and most recently Likebees.com, a social buying website. She also appears regularly alongside Eamonn Holmes on Sky News' Sunrise programme, reviewing the daily papers.

2007: Simon Ambrose
Series 3 winner Simon Ambrose went on to work for Lord Sugar's property company Amsprop for three years - the longest of any winner - while studying to be a chartered surveyor. Since then, he has invested in a London restaurant, members club and art gallery, run an events production company and worked as a property developer.

2008: Lee McQueen
Lee McQueen, who was caught out lying on his CV about his time at university, was the controversial winner of series 5. After a shaky start - he called in sick with food poisoning on his first day - he went on to work for Lord Sugar for two and a half years, setting up a digital media business with Sugar's son Simon.

Since then, McQueen has founded a sales and recruitment business, Raw Talent Academy, which has 18 employees and is expected to make nearly £1.5 million by the end of this year.

2009: Yasmina Siadatan
Restaurant owner Yasmina Siadatan worked for a year at Lord Sugar's Amscreen Healthcare company, which supplies advertising and information screens to hospitals and GPs in the UK and Europe.

After taking some time out to have two children, she was headhunted by ex-Dragon's Den's James Caan as creative director of Start Up Loans, which lends to start-up businesses. She also co-owns a restaurant on Reading, Mya Lacarte, which specilises in British-grown produce.

2010: Stella English
After her widely-predicted win, Stella English was given a job with Lord Sugar's company Viglen, supplying IT equipment to schools, universities and hospitals.

However, she soon became disillusioned and quit, taking the company to an employment tribunal where she claimed that the job wasn't the role she'd been promised. She was just an 'overpaid lackey', she said.

But English lost her claim against the firm, and is now a host for Crowd Box, a TV channel that helps entrepreneurs raise money through crowd-funding.

2011: Tom Pellerau
In 2011, the format changed - perhaps Lord Sugar had had enough - so that instead of a job, winners were given a £250,000 investment in their own business.

Tom Pellerau was the first to benefit, launching the Stylfile range of nail care products, sold at Tesco and Asda. He's also developed baby feeding brand Babisil and is working on a bowel cancer screening device: the company is turning over £1.5 million.

2012: Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin's personal statement - in which he described himself as 'the reflection of perfection' - was labelled crass, obnoxious and infantile by Lord Sugar's adviser Claude Littner. Martin used his £250,000 investment to set up Hyper Recruitment Solutions, co-owned with Lord Sugar, which specialises in scientific recruitment.

2013: Leah Totton
Qualified doctor Leah Totton, now one of the UK's youngest plastic surgeons, used her prize money to set up a London clinic, Dr Leah, with Lord Sugar. It offers anti-ageing treatments, laser hair removal and alternatives to liposuction. She's planning to open more clinics.

2014: Mark Wright
Last year's winner, Australian Mark Wright, set up Climb Online with Lord Sugar. The search engine optimisation (SEO) company aims to improve its clients' visibility on Google and other websites, and has turned over £1 million in its first year.
