Who is Jessica Cunningham? Meet The Apprentice 2016 semi-finalist – here’s what we know
Jessica runs two successful businesses and is often seen rubbing shoulders with reality stars
ONLINE fashion entrepreneur and PR whizz Jessica Cunningham says her positive helpful attitude will help her excel during her time on The Apprentice.
The 29 year old from Derbyshire has three daughters and runs two separate businesses.
Jessica has caught the attention of viewers during the series for her tearful breakdowns and wacky personality.
Speaking to the cameras ahead of this year's series, Jessica says "I've got loads of energy, a bit too much.
"I talk a lot, I'm very much a dreamer but in a good sense, I believe you've got to have high visions to hit high."
It was revealed by The Sun Online that her former boyfriend Alistair Eccles, who she ran her first fashion business Famous Frocks with before it shut down last year, was arrested and handed a suspended prison sentence for his part in an elaborate scam in 2013.
He admitted money laundering before a judge at Preston Crown Court and was given a 15 month jail sentence.
Jessica is also already a very successful of businesswoman with dozens of celebrity mates.
Her roster of reality TV star pals – which includes Vicky Pattison and Love Island’s Katie Salmon – may not go down too well with Lord Sugar who has made no secret of his dislike of fame hungry wannabes in the past.
Speaking to The Sun Online at the launch of the 12th series today Lord Sugar blasted those who over use social media – saying it won’t get them far.
“A lot of the candidates publicise themselves on social media that’s why so many flock to the auditions cause they want to be like them,” he said.
“It’s only the ones that take it seriously that go all the way.”
The Apprentice final airs Sunday 18 December at 9pm.
