BBC News viewers were left puzzled as an Apprentice runner-up made an appearance in a recent report on the channel. Phil Turner, who competed in the 2024 series of the BBC business competition, appeared on the BBC News at Six alongside his wife Teresa, sparking a divided reaction from fans.
Unexpected Appearance
Phil Turner, 37, lost out to boutique gym owner Rachel Woolford in the final of The Apprentice. Despite this, he recently featured in a report filmed from his luxurious East Sussex home, discussing the costs of a recent re-mortgage with his wife Teresa. Some viewers were taken aback by his inclusion in the report, questioning if he truly represented an average family.
Backlash and Criticism
Viewers expressed their disapproval on social media, with some stating that Phil Turner, as a wealthy business owner, may not have been the most suitable choice to discuss financial struggles. Critics took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to voice their opinions, with one viewer calling the decision "weird" and "distracting."
During his time on The Apprentice, Phil faced backlash for consistently making it through to the next round of tasks despite being on losing teams. This led to speculation among fans that the show may have been fixed. Ultimately, Lord Alan Sugar chose to invest £250,000 in Rachel's gym business, leaving viewers questioning Phil's representation of financial challenges.
