A former winner of The Apprentice who fell out with Lord Sugar has called for the star to 'move on' so a younger host can take over.

Joseph Valente impressed the tycoon with his business plan of franchising his plumbing company in 2015, receiving a £250,000 investment.

But the entrepreneur, 35, 'clashed' with Alan Sugar over how to run the business, and they parted ways two years after the programme finished.

Despite regaining control of his company, the firm landed in £2million of debt.

But looking back, he told MailOnline he would thank the business magnate for the opportunities given to him and wishes he had done things differently and retain Lord Sugar, 77, as an ally.
