But some eagle-eyed viewers were not surprised about the winner, after a teaser video from the final shared last week showed billionaire businessman pointing in Marnie’s direction.
Many fans noticed that Lord Sugar had pointed to the left and said: “You’re going to be my new business partner.”
Viewers flocked to Twitter saying that the final had been ruined.
One wrote: “Marnie wins it? She’s sat to the left of Lord Sugar and he points to the winner with his left hand.”
Another posted: “Why show the finger at the end? It’s clearly whoever is sat on the left.”
While some fans thought Marnie had given the game away after she posted a photo of her boxing gym launch three weeks ago.
She will how get a huge investment in her chain of Bronx boxing gyms which she founded in Camberbell, south London.
The entrepreneur plans to attract finance workers to a new branch beside the Bank of England in the City of London.
Marnie will get a quarter of a million pounds to do it – plus a 50/50 partnership with Lord Sugar.
She defeated salon owner Rochelle, after the pair were whittled down from 18 candidates.
Not everyone agreed with Lord Sugar’s decision, with one tweeting: “Rochelle should have won.”
Another wrote: “Totally gutted. Rochelle is easily still the winner to me. A mistake for sure.”
However, many insisted the choice was financially sound, with one posting: “As much as I wanted Rochelle to win, Marine had the better business plan!”
Marnie posted a moving message online in the wake of her win, saying: “What CAN you write when one of the biggest names in business just chose YOU to be his business partner.
“I’m nothing but a 28 year old girl with a taste for hard work and some big dreams just trying to make a life for herself different from the one she knew.”
She added: “I have so much to say, but at the same time, I’m speechless. I feel empowered, but overwhelmed.
