Apprentice winner 'considered leaving' Lord Sugar show Ms English, of Whitstable, Kent, yesterday told the hearing at East London Employment Tribunal Service that on her first day at Viglen its chief executive, Bordan Tkachuk, told her: "There is no job." She said: "I was in a trial period to win The Apprentice. What value is there in me going into a company I don't know - whether I knew (she was going to win) or not - and then go and complain about people who have been working there a long time? I didn't know at the time, within one month, how things were going to pan out. Asked by Mr Sweeney why she did not drop out of the process if she was so unhappy, she said: "That's a very good question. It did cross my mind. But she added: "I had still hoped that by not making complaints and not being difficult with these people that in time I could maybe win them over. I didn't feel to go through that process and then at the last minute to drop out was a real option. As I said it wouldn't have made any sense for me to do that. Questioned about her relationship with Mr Tkachuk, she told the tribunal: "It was clear that he didn't think much of The Apprentice. He didn't have any real interest in me. He didn't really particularly want to speak to me. He did not acknowledge my existence at all and the fact of the matter is he didn't want me there.
