Cheers as Ben gets fired

12/04/2009

COCKY Apprentice star Ben Clarke was so loathed at work colleagues CHEERED after he was sacked.

Ben, 22, who has boasted that making money is better than sex, continually flirted with other girls at work despite having a girlfriend.

Ben escaped being fired by Sir Alan Sugar this week after his disastrous exercise machine invention, but he was not so lucky when he was axed as a trainee stockbroker with investment firm Brewin Dolphin.

Our insider said: "Ben was a posh snob who thought he was better than anyone else.

Friendly

"He even tried to pull my girlfriend. At first he didn't know she was dating me, but when she said, 'Oh, you work at Brewin Dolphin with my boyfriend,' he persisted even more.

"I went on Facebook and saw Ben had a girlfriend who was listed as living in Edinburgh. I was fuming."

When Ben was given the sack last year it was cause for celebration.

"He was so arrogant - he thought he had made it. We always used to take the p*** out of his clothes- pink socks, pink braces. What was he thinking?"

The worker said: "I left the company before him, but in December I met up with some ex colleagues who said Ben had been fired.

"We all cheered and got up and toasted his departure."

A pal of Ben said: "Ben's really friendly, the sort of chap who would talk to girls, and sometimes they can misconstrue his friendliness for flirtation."
