I never expected to start a second career at 60. At that age you think you know what you’re going to do. I didn’t need a new job – I’d already had a career running the press department in Lord Alan Sugar’s Amstrad corporation. Alan threw me a 60th birthday and retirement party at The Dorchester, and it was wonderful, then the next month, he rings me and asks me to join him on The Apprentice as one of his advisors. I said, ‘No, I’m retired.’ Then he said, ‘I’ll fix the fee,’ and it was very good, more than he’d paid me!
Suddenly, I was having this amazing new career on TV and, walking down the street, people knew who I was. I never gave in to the ghastly celebrity attitude of ‘Don’t talk to me’. I’ve seen some of them going, ‘Where’s my coffee? Where’s my car?’ I hate it. I’ve always travelled on the tube and the train, and if somebody wants a selfie, you take it with them.
