I was on The Apprentice and here is how much time you really got to get ready after the 4am phone call
THE Apprentice winner Sian Gabbidon has revealed it's pandemonium in the contestants' house after the early 4am wake up calls.
The budding entrepreneurs not only battle it out for Lord Sugar's investment, but also for their daily showers.
Speaking exclusively to the Sun, Sian, says: "It's a good time if you've got five minutes because you'd have that many people in the house, what 15 of you, if they had you'd be like...
"Okay, well, I'm gonna jump in the shower, do my make-up, do my hair, especially for girls and I've got Afro hair, I needed to try and straighten my hair, literally do something in five minutes," she said.
"You literally didn't get that much time and that was a genuine get ready, jump in the shower, do your make-up and get downstairs and be ready to leave the door."
Sian, who won the BBC show in 2018, also divulged how they picked the person to answer the dreaded 4am phone call each week.
