Stars and fans of The Apprentice have paid tribute to Stuart Baggs, who has died at the age of just 27.

The legendary candidate appeared on Lord Sugar's BBC One business series back in 2010, and quickly became a fan favourite after dubbing himself "Stuart Baggs 'The Brand'" and delivering classic quotes like "Everything I touch turns to sold".

Digital Spy has collected just some of the messages remembering Stuart below.

"I'm not a one-trick pony,...

Desi Rascals is back with a new trailer for series 2, and a glimpse of new cast member Jasmin Walia.

The ex-towie star joins the cast alongside Solomon Akhtar from The Apprentice.

Speaking at the time of her casting, Walia said: "This is the opportunity I've been looking for that will allow me to explore my cultural roots whilst still maintaining all the glitz and glamour that I love."

The reality star's boyfriend Ross Worswick will also be featured on the Sky1 show.

Walia added: "I'm having such an amazing time with Ross at the moment, and this next chapter promises to be even better, full of surprises and magical moments that I'm sure viewers will also enjoy sharing with us."

The show was renewed back in March for its second run, following a successful first series.

Created by Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham) and Tony Wood (Hollyoaks), Desi Rascals...

Jasmin Walia and Solomon Akhtar have joined the cast of Desi Rascals for its second series.

Towie's Walia will appear alongside her boyfriend Ross Worswick (Ex on the Beach), while Akhtar entered last year's series of The Apprentice.

Farah Rai of Take Me Out has also been announced for the show.

"I'm really excited to be joining Desi Rascals," said Walia. "Since leaving the cast of Towie, I have been very fortunate to receive numerous offers of work, and this is the opportunity I've been looking for that will allow me to explore my cultural roots whilst still maintaining all the glitz and glamour that I love.

It's official - interviewer from hell Claude Littner will replace Nick Hewer as Lord Sugar's advisor on the next series of The Apprentice. That noise you hear? It's candidates running screaming from that lavish house.

Because yes, Claude is scary. Very scary. We've lost count of the number of times we've sat on our sofa, chewing our fingernails off and sweating buckets as we watch Claude interrogate the hopefuls who've made it to the interview stage of the competition, destroying not only their CVs but also their dreams. Read on for just nine times we wanted to die watching him...

1. James McQuillan (series 5): "You're trying to defend what's frankly indefensible"

Well, James made the mistake in his CV of writing: "In a nutshell, I put a leash on people who spunk money up the wall." Claude wasn't going to have any of that kind of naughty language - goodness me no.

The candidates on the next series of The Apprentice better get prepared, because Claude Littner has been confirmed as Lord Sugar's new advisor.

The famously tough businessman will replace Nick Hewer in the show's upcoming eleventh series, it was announced on Monday (April 27).

He will join Karren Brady to watch the hopeful candidates as they take part in the tasks, before reporting back to Lord Sugar about their successes - and, more likely, their failures.

"If the candidates think I am soft and fluffy, they haven't been watching me on The Apprentice over the past decade," Littner said.

"I will now be assessing their performance in the process, individually and within their teams. I will be reporting to Lord Sugar to play my part in ensuring that his personal investment of £250,000 goes to the best candidate. I'm ready, and this won't be a walk in the park!"

Littner is...

Nick Hewer has made his final appearance on The Apprentice.

Tributes to Lord Sugar's long-time adviser were paid during tonight's final (December 21).

The Apprentice: Oh, Nick Hewer, we're going to miss you

Speaking on the after-show, Lord Sugar said: "It is with a heavy heart that I have got to say that Nick is not going to be my assistant in any future series of The Apprentice."

Lord Sugar continued: "He's reached the ripe old age of 70… he wants to hang up his shoes.

"It's a sad moment for me. I know when we do the next series, I'll be looking in that direction [to the left] and I know he's not going to be there."

Lord Sugar added: "I thank him dearly for all the help and the assistance that he's given me in the last ten years."

Although Hewer is currently suffering from Laryngitis, he managed to say: "Thank you,...

Wright was ultimately named the winner in a tense final boardroom face-off, after Lord Sugar consulted with advisers Nick Hewer and Karren Brady.

Sunday night's finale was Hewer's last appearance as a regular member of the Apprentice cast.

Margaret Mountford has explained her absence from last night's (December 17) episode of The Apprentice.

Lord Alan Sugar's former aide on the show was not present at the interviews stage of the process, despite featuring as one of the interviewers in the previous four series.

She told What's On TV that she hadn't been invited to return.

"They didn't ask me back," Mountford said. "I suppose I was fired!

"No, obviously they weren't going to want me to carry on doing interviews forever, and nor did I want to do them forever."

Series eight Apprentice winner Ricky Martin took Mountford's spot alongside Claude Littner, Mike Soutar and Claudine Collins.

Solomon Akhtar, Roisin Hogan and Daniel Lassman were fired following the interviews, leaving Bianca Miller and Mark Wright as this year's finalists.

The Apprentice final airs on Sunday, December 21 at 9pm on BBC One.

Solomon Akhtar was relieved to be fired from 'The Apprentice'. The 23-year-old left the process in last night's (17.12.14) semi-final but revealed he wouldn't have wanted to go into business with Lord Alan Sugar anyway because he didn't want to be controlled by the entrepreneur. He told Bang Showbiz: ''Yeah in a way. Obviously I wanted to win it but I don't think I would want to be under Lord Sugar's iron fist for the rest of my life and I want to do other things. Lord Sugar and I just wouldn't have got on. I don't think we see eye to...

Solomon Akhtar, Roisin Hogan and Daniel Lassman have reacted to being fired from The Apprentice in tonight's triple elimination (December 17).

The contestants spoke to Dara Ó Briain on The Apprentice: You're Fired about their experiences on the reality business show.

The Apprentice review: Claude casts a cloud over things

Akhtar talked about his nightmare interview with Claude Littner and then failing to find the exit afterwards, saying: "Claude was genuinely one of the scariest people that I've ever met, so any exit that I could find I was just going to go for it."

Speaking about his business plan, he said: "I thought Lord Sugar would appreciate different styles, different designs."

He did, however, admit that the page of logo designs were a "bit of a filler".

Hogan was next to speak about her experiences, saying she was "totally gutted" but "thrilled with the experience".

Apprentice Solomon Akhtar on...

The Apprentice now has its two finalists after Bianca Miller and Mark Wright survived the dreaded interviews stage of the competition.

The duo - who have business plans involving hosiery and digital marketing respectively - will now battle it out in next week's final to win Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment.

But it was bad news for Solomon Akhtar, Roisin Hogan and Daniel Lassman, who were all shown the door by Lord Sugar after failings in their business plans.

Akhtar, who admitted that he had been "naive" after producing a business plan consisting of just eight pages, was the first candidate to be fired.

He had a terrible time during the interviews as Lord Sugar's notoriously tough adviser Claude Littner reacted furiously to the document, telling him that he was "taking the piss" and asking him to leave.

"It's a bloody disgrace," he said. "Ten years I've done this -...

Fired Apprentice candidate Daniel Lassman has hit back at his show rivals, claiming that their attacks on him reveal "a lack of maturity".

Lassman has been under fire on the show from fellow candidates, with quarter-finalist Sanjay Sood-Smith unleashing the strongest attack on him.

Last week, Sood-Smith told Digital Spy that Lassman was "even worse in real life" than on the show and said he was "distraught" to leave before him.

Responding to his critics, Lassman told us: "I think there are a couple of people out there who weren't on the show for the right reasons. A couple of people said things about me to grab a bit more press and coverage and profile building.

"To stoop to that level, I don't need to. I feel like I've learnt and taken a lot from the show, so I don't need to get involved in that.

"It's disappointing, but I...

Fired Apprentice candidate Solomon Akhtar has spoken to Digital Spy about his flirtatious behaviour behind the scenes of the BBC One reality show, admitting to having "a spark" with one contestant and trying his luck with Lord Sugar's aide Karren Brady.

Akhtar was one of the three fired candidates in tonight's (October 17) semi-final and the technology entrepreneur has opened up about what really went on in series 10.

"I think Karren and I were very flirty. Or I was very flirty with her," said the 22-year-old.

"I think Karren's a beautiful woman and I personally love her and I think she's amazing."

A more realistic potential relationship could come with fellow fired candidate Pamela Uddin, who he revealed he had grown close to in the house.

"Pamela and I were also very flirty. We used to go off and have little chats in the house," he said.

"We were very...

The Apprentice lost two more candidates tonight as Katie Bulmer-Cooke and Sanjay Sood-Smith were both fired by Lord Sugar.

The boss took the opportunity to whittle down the remaining hopefuls from seven to five after a premium puddings task, in which the two teams had to create and pitch new desserts to supermarkets.

Bulmer-Cooke - whose business plan involved opening a healthy restaurant - was the project manager for Team Tenacity and managed to shift 13,500 units of her unusually-flavoured trifles to Asda.

However, she lost out after Team Summit - led by project manager Roisin Hogan, whose business plan involves selling ready meals - won an order of 5,500 of her tea-flavoured cheesecakes from Waitrose and a further 20,000 from Tesco.

With just Bulmer-Cooke, Sood-Smith and Mark Wright left in Tenacity, all three of them were forced to return to the Boardroom and they all seemed in danger at various points.

Bulmer-Cooke...

Felipe Alviar-Baquero became the 13th candidate to be fired from The Apprentice tonight after his attempt to show initiative went badly wrong.

The two teams were given the classic task of buying a series of items but Lord Sugar was furious when lawyer Alviar-Baquero bought a paper skeleton instead of an upright version.

Although the paper version fit the specifications outlined by Lord Sugar, he fined Team Tenacity £310 which resulted in them failing the task.

Team Tenacity's project manager Daniel Lassman - who was forced to return to the Boardroom for the fourth time this series - chose to bring back Alviar-Baquero and Katie Bulmer-Cooke, allowing Mark Wright to return to the house in safety.

Although Lord Sugar did question whether Bulmer-Cooke has more to offer than just "common sense", he announced that he was going to keep her around this week, leaving just Lassman and Alviar-Baquero in danger.
