Lord Sugar, the stalwart of BBC’s “The Apprentice,” has firmly asserted his stance on aging gracefully, adamantly rejecting the allure of plastic surgery. At 77, Sugar, who has graced television screens for nearly two decades, stands as a beacon of business acumen and integrity.
In a recent discourse, Sugar shed light on his enduring partnership with Dr. Leah Totton, winner of “The Apprentice” in 2013, who utilized her £250,000 prize to establish the successful Dr. Leah Clinics. Despite Totton’s eagerness to extend her services to Sugar, he remains resolute in his decision to eschew cosmetic procedures, affirming, “Leah has been absolutely dying to inject me with loads of bloody things, and while my wife and daughter go to her for these things, I’ve told her, ‘No, thanks’, and haven’t let her do a thing.”
Sugar’s steadfast resolve against cosmetic interventions finds resonance in his reflections on music mogul Simon Cowell, 64, whose evolving appearance has sparked speculation about surgical enhancements. Sugar’s candid remarks underscore his preference for natural aging, stating, “I mean, what has Simon done to himself? He’s a really nice chap, but he’s been looking a bit strange lately — God forbid I were to ever go down that road.”
Cowell, no stranger to scrutiny over his appearance, has consistently refuted rumors of surgical enhancements. Following jibes from “Britain’s Got Talent” hosts Ant and Dec, Cowell dismissed allegations of facelifts, attributing minor cosmetic alterations to Botox.
Meanwhile, as Sugar navigates the latest season of “The Apprentice,” the finalists, Phil Turner and Rachel Woolford, emerge as frontrunners in the pursuit of Sugar’s mentorship and investment. Despite setbacks faced by contestants like Tre Lowe, Flo Edwards, and Paul Midha, each acknowledges the invaluable lessons gleaned from the experience. Reflecting on their journeys, they express a mix of disappointment and gratitude, underscoring the enriching camaraderie and the transformative power of shared experiences.
