Stellar Stella
17 December 2010
If you're a fan of The Apprentice you'll know that this year's finalists are Stella English and Chris Bates. Well, we couldn't care less about dull old Chris but Stella is an entirely different bag of spanners because she is a Greenwich girl. She grew up in Thamesmead, just down the road from the World Heritage Site.
She left school with no qualifications but has ended up working for a Japanese bank, as well as becoming the mother of two children, and we'll all be rooting for her during this Sunday's final.
The bookies are making her odds-on to win - she's the 4-7 favorite - so fingers crossed she gets through the final task with flying colours. The finalists will be developing a brand new alcoholic drink which clearly gives Stella the edge. After all, who ever heard of a beer called Chris? That would be stupid. Go Stella, go!
