Apprentice boss invited to show’s first wedding

- PATRICK HILL

LORD Alan Sugar is on the guest list for The Apprentice’s first wedding. 

The 2022 series winner Harpreet Kaur and fellow contestant Akshay Thakrar are to marry at the end of next month.

Harpreet revealed Lord Sugar and the show’s Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell have all been invited to attend.

The couple will enjoy three separate days of ceremonies, including an English- style white wedding, followed by a traditional Indian ceremony and then a “big fat reception party”.

Harpreet, 32, said: “We’re really excited and are hoping Lord Sugar, Karren and Tim can make it. The show is what allowed us to meet and it’s been a big part of our lives.

“It depends on their schedules but they’ve all been invited to the traditional Indian wedding ceremony in Watford and the reception in Windsor.

“We’ve tried to keep the whole thing as intimate as possible because otherwise it can all get really out of hand.

“When you’re Indian your close family equals about 150 people.”
