Carr calls Sugar 'horrible'

Alan Carr says ‘The Apprentice’ judge Alan Sugar is “horrible”.

The comedian – who was fired from charity reality show ‘Comic Relief Does the Apprentice’ earlier this year –was terrified of the businessman who he claims reduced him to tears.

He said: “Just how scary is he? He’s horrible. I thought because we were celebrities he’d tone it down, but he was vile and laid into me.

“I used to take the mickey out of the contestants when they cried on ‘The Apprentice’, but he had me in tears. I was gulping and had a lump in my throat!”

The 33-year-old funnyman thought he might have been defended by Sugar’s assistant, Margaret Mountford, when the business mogul got tough on him.

He explained to Britain’s New magazine: “I thought Margaret might support me. I thought, ‘She’s a woman – she’ll help me.’ But she just rolled her eyes.”
