Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur goes public with co-star Akshay Thankrar romance

The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur has revealed she is dating show co-star Akshay Thankrar.

The pair went public with their romance as they celebrated their three month anniversary, with Harpreet opening up about her surprising 'personal' journey since rising to fame on the BBC One show.

Harpreet rose to fame when she caught the attention of Lord Alan Sugar and won the latest series of The Apprentice.

After working alongside Akshay on the show, the colleagues became more than just close friends.

Harpreet took to her Instagram page to share a series of cosy photos of the couple together.

Despite initially keeping the relationship on the down low, Harpreet wrote: "The best things in life happen unexpectedly.

"I love sharing my Oh So Yum business journey with you all but this time….it’s a personal one.
