Sir Alan Sugar is the celebrity boss most people would like to work for, according to a survey conducted by Pitman Training.

The star of The Apprentice came top of the list with 36% of the vote, followed by George Clooney (25%), Jacqueline Gold and Gordon Ramsey. Bottom of the list were Amy Winehouse and Katie Price.

"This series of The Apprentice has showed that a loud mouth and bags of confidence aren't enough to secure you the job of your dreams," said Claire Lister, managing director of Pitman Training.

"Many of the candidates who were quick to brag about their superb sales ability and multitude of achievements simply didn't have the practical skills and common sense to succeed in the tasks set."
