FORMER star of The Apprentice, Joseph Valente, has revealed what it was like to audition for the show.
The BBC competition show – which has just returned for its 13th series – crowned Joseph as its winner in 2015.

He’s since gone on to be a successful businessman
The father-of-one has opened up about his experience on the show, eight years on.
Speaking to the Daily Star about the audition process, Joseph explained that potential contestants were made to partake in some baffling exercises.
One of which was forcing them to line up in order of the ‘best to worst looking’.
Joseph told the publication: “Yeah so they asked you to line up in ‘best looking’ order and I had to battle it out with some lady who was Miss Hong Kong or something.
“And I had to argue that I was better looking than her, but I just knew the game I had to play and I played it.”
Joseph understood that he needed to stand out during the audition process, adding that some of the other contestants didn’t seem to get it.
He continued: “The others in the middle, I thought ‘you ain’t doing it right’, and I ended up getting a spot on the show so it worked.”
The businessman isn’t the first Apprentice contestant to speak about this strange audition task.
Fan favourite and 2019 contestant, Thomas Skinner, has also said he partook in the same audition element.
He previously said: “Before you go on the show you go through the interview stages and you’ve got people from all over.
“From London, from Ireland, from Manchester, and you’re in this room and they told us to line up from ugliest to prettiest.”
Thomas even explained how he just placed himself at the ugly end of the scale.
However, he too ended up landing a place on the show and went on to become very successful.
