Contestant Caught in Hotel Room Incident

Amber-Rose Badrudin, a contestant on the upcoming season of The Apprentice, was reportedly caught in a hotel room with a half-naked male co-star during filming in Turkey, violating the show's strict 'no touching' policy. The incident unfolded when a crew member spotted the pair through a window, leading to the welfare team intervening. Amber-Rose had recently split from her boyfriend, Michael Nguyen, and reportedly wrote a love letter to her co-star shortly before the filming incident. Upon returning to London, both contestants were reprimanded by production staff for their actions, which contravened their contracts that prohibit intimate relationships during the competition. The 19th series of The Apprentice is set to premiere on January 30, 2025, hosted by Lord Alan Sugar, with Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell returning as advisors. This controversy adds to the show's history of romance-related issues among contestants.
