REALITY TV boss Alan Sugar was put on the spot himself when he paid a visit to Chigwell School.

The tables were turned on the entrepreneur, who is currently hosting a junior version of The Apprentice, when he was subjected to a tough question and answer session from pupils at the school, in Chigwell High Road.

Lord Sugar fielded questions for over an hour with subjects ranging from how to be successful in business to his involvement in football, and the current economic situation.

School development officer Loredana Morrison said: “All students thought that Lord Sugar was simply inspirational and what came through was the integrity of his personality and his natural good sense for business opportunities.”
