The Apprentice returned recently, with a new string of contestants battling to go into business with Lord Alan Sugar.

However, viewers might have already seen Kayode Damali before.

In fact, before deciding to show off his business prowess in the boardroom, the 26-year-old appeared on Come Dine With Me.

Yes, seriously.

The motivational speaker popped up on the Channel 4 show last year, attempting to win the £1,000 prize in Crewe and Stoke – with a fellow diner disrespecting his carrots.

As well as the cooking show, he also appeared in an EU debate way back in 2016, hosted by Victoria Derbyshire – where he appeared to get flirty with the presenter.

When discussing moving in and around Europe, he told her: I could just leave right now if I wanted to…

You can come with me if you want… we could go together..

After the audience nervously giggled, he quipped: Dont laugh, Im being serious.

Were not sure asking Lord Sugar out on a date will help break the boardroom tension….

But Kayode isnt the only Apprentice hopeful raising eyebrows, as viewers were left fuming with Rick Monk during the first episode.

The task saw the cast jet to Malta to source a list of obscure items. However, Rick took the moment to joke about how the women wouldnt be winning the task.

These girls have no chance of winning this first task, he joked.

Theyre gonna be fashion-conscious, “oh my make-ups running”, doing their hair. The boys on tour. Were definitely going to wipe the floor with them.

And Twitter was suitably savage, announcing him as cancelled within 20minutes of the series starting.

The Apprentice continues on Wednesdays, at 9pm, on BBC.
