Contestant Reece Donnelly from hit TV show The Apprentice thinks he could teach business tycoon Alan Sugar some new patter.
The entrepreneur, who is hoping to become Lord Sugar’s next business partner, has even offered to buy him a new joke book after being less than impressed with his one-liners.

Sugar, 75, grew up in Hackney, east London, where he started working at a local greengrocer. After leaving school at 16, he started
