Brett Butler-Smythe to renovate Lord Sugar’s bathroom?


Brett Butler-Symthe is hoping to renovate Lord Alan Sugar’s bathroom after being booted off ‘The Apprentice’.

The 28-year-old builder was fired by the business magnate on last night’s (09.12.15) episode of the show but has revealed he hopes to keep in touch with his former boss by offering up his handyman skills.

Brett exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "He did say to me, ‘You know Brett, I’m under no illusion that if I needed you to dig me a hole, you’d dig me a hole. And if I asked you to come round and do my bathroom, you’d do it.’ So I’m waiting for a phone call ’cause it must be due a refurbishment by now."

Brett – who had a bust up with fellow candidate Scott Saunders over a remote control while living together as part of the process – has claimed there’s little he’d change if he could do it all over again despite not winning the £250,000 investment.

He explained: "I think I’ve got good reviews from people that have said, you’re really honest and straight talking and that that’s a good quality to have.

"Maybe I could potentially not be so abrupt sometimes and let people make their own mistakes a little bit more, but if I don’t agree with somebody I’ll tell them regardless of whether they want to hear it or not because I think it’s valid to get the win for the team as a team."

‘The Apprentice’ continues next Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
