Senior talent agent Terry Mills, of Big Talent Group, declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline today. Lord Sugar had been seeking to recover £35,000 after Miss English lost her constructive dismissal case against him earlier this year. Miss English wept earlier this week when an East London Tribunal Service panel ruled that she should not have to repay any of the money. Miss English said she had fallen into poverty and was trying to claim benefits as she fought off a claim by Lord Sugar, who was trying to win £35,000 in legal costs and damages But at the hearing this week it emerged that the mother of two has not worked since July and is attempting to claim housing benefit and jobseeker's allowance. Miss English told the tribunal that she now only has around £200 in her bank account and was unable to even afford a birthday present for her son. At the original employment tribunal, Lord Sugar claimed Miss English knowingly lied when she said the £100,000-a-year job at his firm, which she won through the BBC programme in 2010, was a sham Lawyers for 66-year-old Lord Sugar insisted Miss English brought the original legal action against him simply because she was "bored" with her day job and missed the glamour of appearing on television.
