The Mail on Sunday contacted Sugar about the slip-up, soon ‘unfollowing’ the contestant following the revelation.
Beady-eyed fans of the series noticed how Sugar started following one of the contestants on Twitter – the 69-year-old only ever follows a single contestant from each series: the winner.
One contestant said of the revelation to The Mail: “Each year Lord Sugar makes a point of only following the winner – this is what he has done since he joined Twitter in 2011.
While not outright saying “[redacted] wins,” Sugar let slip the information through his Twitter account three weeks before the pre-recorded final is set to air.
