Who is David Alden?
David Alden, 32, is a tax advisor from East Yorkshire.
He claims that he can speak to anyone about anything, though he gets frustrated when others don’t share his unwavering positivity.
He also admits that being too trusting has been his downfall in the past.
On his stamina he says, “My friends and family call me the Duracell bunny as I take on so much and never stop. I just keep going.”

Who is on the show's board with Lord Sugar?
Lord Sugar needs "eyes and ears" on the ground during each week's tasks.
He used to be assisted by Nick Hewer and uber-shrewd Margaret Mountford.
But after legal aid Margaret left in 2009, West Ham CEO Karren Brady took over the role.
Then, in 2014, PR guru Nick left The Apprentice, and Claude Littner stepped in to replace him after years acting as one of the official interviewers during the CV round.
This year, Karren and Claude will both return to the show to spot who's not pulling their weight during the tasks.

When does The Apprentice start on BBC One?
The Apprentice is a hit BBC reality show, now going into its 14th series, featuring hour-long episodes.
Each series of the programme aims to find a new apprentice for billionaire business mogul and Amstrad founder Lord Alan Sugar, who's worth £1.4bn.
It aims to recreate the toughest of business environments and tasks for its set of contestants, but it is often very funny due to the incompetence and arrogance of the competitors.
It started on BBC One on Wednesday, October 3.
