Former The Apprentice winner Yasmina Siadatan has told Digital Spy that she is "so proud" of Lord Sugar for standing up to series six champion Stella English when she tried to sue him for constructive dismissal.
English launched a case against Sugar's Amshold Group Ltd this year, claiming that the £100,000-a-year job she won on the show in 2010 was "a sham".
However, an employment tribunal ruled in Sugar's favour, and the 66-year-old afterwards dismissed English's claim as "a derisory attempt to smear my name and extract money from me".
Asked by DS if she thought the case had damaged Sugar or The Apprentice, Siadatan - who won the series prior to English's - replied: "I think if anything it strengthened him and the show, and I'm so proud of him that he took her on and he went to court, because he had no reason to settle...

Duncan Bannatyne has continued his feud with his Dragons' Den colleague James Caan over the latter's 'non-dom' tax status in the UK. Bannatyne previously complained that he is at a disadvantage to Caan in the health club market because he has to pay UK tax on all his earnings and corporation tax on his business ventures.
