Lord Sugar went on to explain that being a member of the House of Lords is a great honor, but it also comes with certain prerequisites. For example, many Lords have to include the name of the town or village they hail from to differentiate themselves from others with similar titles. Lord Sugar’s title is ‘Baron Sugar of Clapton’ because he wanted to embrace his roots and represent the place where he was born.
The conversation then shifted to the nature of Lord Sugar’s role in the House of Lords. He clarified that he is not a government advisor or a minister but rather a government advisor. The decision to delay the new season of ‘The Apprentice,’ in which Lord Sugar is a prominent figure, during the election period was met with resistance from the Conservative Party, with Jeremy Hunt being particularly vocal. As a result, Lord Sugar was temporarily banned from appearing on television during the election period.
However, Lord Sugar did express his excitement for the upcoming show ‘Junior Apprentice.’ He believes that this new season, featuring a group of remarkable 16-year-olds, will inspire and instill confidence in young people across the country. He also emphasized that these young individuals come from diverse backgrounds, including those who are not from well-off families.
In a lighter moment, Jonathan Ross mentioned that he had noticed Lord Sugar’s incredible transformation over the years, which prompted Lord Sugar to discuss his passion for cycling. Lord Sugar revealed that he cycles approximately 60 miles in a single day, completing the journey to and from his destination in about three and a half hours. His dedication to fitness and cycling has been a major factor in his improved health.
Jonathan Ross even extended an invitation for Lord Sugar to join him and Adrian Charles on a bike ride, offering to provide him with a bike. Lord Sugar jokingly requested that he not be given a “Garmin suit” and Ross assured him that he had something better in mind.
To wrap up the show, Ross presented a humorous tribute to Lord Sugar, showcasing a compilation of his appearances on the talk show. The clip featured witty edits and playful rearrangements of Lord Sugar’s words, leaving the audience amused.
Overall, Lord Alan Sugar‘s appearance on ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross‘ provided a captivating insight into his experience as a member of the House of Lords and his ongoing ventures in television. The episode showcased his unique personality and left viewers excited for the upcoming season of ‘Junior Apprentice.’
