AN entrepreneur from the Isle of Man is hoping that he won't be delivered the immortal words - "you're fired" - after becoming the youngest ever contestant to take part in the television show The Apprentice.

Stuart Baggs, 21, will fight it out to become apprentice to businessman Lord Alan Sugar when the new series starts tonight (Wednesday).

Stuart, who was born in Plymouth but lives in the Isle of Man, has said: "I'm Stuart Baggs - The Brand."

At 19 Stuart launched his own telecommunications company although his first venture into business took place in the school playground when he started selling yo-yos to fellow pupils.

In his interview, which can be viewed here, he said: "I couldn't live a more interesting life - there is nothing boring about my life. Even when I'm sleeping I'm not really asleep I'm dreaming about what's coming next.

"I wake up early every morning and I go out and make money. My drive is to succeed to my maximum and then use some of that success to help others - where appropriate."

The Apprentice is on BBC One tonight at 9pm.
