A contestant on the new series of the UK version of the Apprentice is an online poker buff in his spare time, it has been revealed.

 

Andy Jackson, a 36-year-old from Scotland, also uses the internet for another of his favourite pursuits, trading on eBay, but retains a love of gambling online, the Herald newspaper has reported.

 

“My passions are winning, winning and winning,” the car salesman said.

 

Mr Jackson will pit his wits against a variety of other contestants including a quantum physicist and a former army lieutenant.

 

The Apprentice sees 16 hopefuls compete for the chance of securing a six-figure job at one of Sir Alan Sugar’s companies. The success of the programme has meant that the new series will screen on BBC1. Previous editions of the show had aired on BBC2.
