An official petition has been launched to replace Alan Sugar with Steven Bartlett on The Apprentice.
Amy Anzel, who Lord Sugar fired six weeks into last year's series of the BBC series, says it's time for the famous entrepreneur "to make way for the next generation to take the reigns" after an 'AWFUL' offering from the show this year.
The businesswoman didn't hold back when sharing the petition online last night, revealing Lord Sugar has blocked her on Twitter for commenting on her success compared to past winners of The Apprentice.
Amy claims the latest series of The Apprentice, which came to an end last night, has been "nothing but damaging to British entrepreneurship" and says it's now time to "GET LORD SUGAR OUT!"
Sharing a screenshot revealing the business mogul has blocked her on Twitter, Amy began her tirade against Lord Sugar saying: "HOWLING to myself at the fact that Lord Sugar blocked me on twitter for commenting that my brand @hollywoodbrowzr is stocked by Boots and none of his candidates could sell to the Boots buyers on this series - how pathetic #TheApprentice."
She went on to share a link to her Change.org petition and told her Twitter followers: "OFFICIAL PETITION FOR LORD SUGAR TO BE REPLACED BY STEVEN BARTLETT BEFORE THE APPRENTICE IS RUINED BEYOND REPAIR… #TheApprentice #LordSugar."
The description for the petition reads: "it’s time for Lord Sugar to make way for the next generation to take the reigns before The Apprentice is ran into the ground by a poor production team of people who have decided that the show should spend it’s time making a complete mockery of the candidates and being nothing but damaging to British entrepreneurship… at this point the show is verging on bullying it’s own candidates! GET LORD SUGAR OUT!"
The petition currently has 17 signatures.
A few hours on from sharing the link to her petition, Amy returned to seemingly address to lack of signatures her petition has attracted - musing how Dragons' Den star Bartlett might not be Lord Sugar's natural successor.
The businesswoman tweeted: "Ok so I may have slightly underestimated the amount of people who like Steven Bartlett… but bloody hell has anyone else been watching this series because it’s been AWFUL and something needs to change because it’s not the format that’s shit, it’s everything else #TheApprentice."
The final show of The Apprentice 2023 kicked off last night when one finalist walked away with a £250,000 investment from Lord Alan Sugar.
Back in January, 18 ambitious candidates were put through their paces in challenges and in the boardroom - with those taking part this year including a safari guide, a court advocate and the owner of a theatre school.
However, after a gruelling and challenging eight weeks, only two hopefuls remained with Marnie Swindells, 28, and Rochelle Anthony, 35, making it through to the all-female final
The pair battled it out in the last instalment for the chance to win the £250,000 investment and become Lord Sugar's next business partner, and Marnie was the one to walk away as the winner this year.
