Apprentice star reveals sex party shame

UP FOR ORGIES: Raunchy Lorraine

STAR: With Sir Alan and rivals

FANCY A FOURSOME? On the show with Debra

MY SWINGER: Lorraine with lover

By Dan Wootton, 26/04/2009

APPRENTICE star Lorraine Tighe has revealed how she turned into a SWINGER after a sweaty orgy in a sex club.

The dowdy businesswoman told how watching six naked men and women writhing in a sexual frenzy in Amsterdam's infamous red light district changed her life forever.

Lust-filled Lorraine, 36 - highly rated by Sir Alan Sugar and a favourite to win the show loved by millions - was so turned on by what she saw that she then paid for her BOYFRIEND to romp with a PROSTITUTE while she looked on.

"My eyes nearly came out of my head that night," she confessed to a pal.

"There was a black man and a white woman having what I would call severe sex like I'd never seen before, really angry sex. We both got off on it.

"The sex we had on that holiday after being in the club was a revelation, definitely the best of my life."

"It was amazing. And no I don't think it's dirty and I'm not sleazy-but I am definitely liberated."

But now Lorraine fears that her boasts about swinging to fellow contestants in the Apprentice penthouse have infuriated the man she loves and could prompt him to end their relationship.

For in downtime during the show she even tried to get rival Debra Barr, 24, and her boyfriend to take part in a foursome with her and her lover.

A source on the show told us how she uses the powers of persuasion that have impressed Sir Alan to try to recruit other swingers away from the cameras.

Addict

"A bunch of the Apprentice girls went for a night out and the alcohol was flowing," he said.

"Lorraine was very open about her and her partner's lifestyle and came straight out and asked Debra and her boyfriend Richard, who's very good looking, for a foursome. Debra was really shocked. They said no."

And a fellow Apprentice contestant told us: "She goes on and on about what her and her bloke get up to at swingers' clubs and in their home. Apparently he likes to watch her in action with other men. She says he's a sex addict."

In front of the cameras, the bespectacled, brainy accounts manager from Kent displays the drive and ambition that has made her a hot tip to win the Apprentice.

But a very different drive was unleashed after Lorraine met met her current love, a company director. At the time she was a lonely single mum-of-two who was feeling vulnerable after being dumped by her husband of 10 years.

"Meeting someone like him who had travelled the world and been with millions of very beautiful women was exciting," she told her pal.

"He's 54 - much older than I was looking for - but he's the most extraordinary man I've ever met.

"He actually said I was the plainest woman he'd ever dated. I was cool about that because I'm so happy with who I am as a person.

"But when he told me he was a swinger I thought, 'Oh s***, how happy am I with this?'

SMILES: Young Lorraine

"I was a typical Irish Catholic girl. A repressed housewife at home with children who'd been in a very boring, depressing marriage. The stories he told me were extraordinary. He loves naturist holidays where he has sex outdoors with other couples. That's very normal to him. I'd never heard anything like it.

"But sex with him was like nothing I had known. He put back in my life what I didn't have for years.

"It planted the seeds in my mind to think, 'God, there really is more out there'."

When her new lover took her to European sex capital Amsterdam, she found out just how much more.

"He took me to a sex party," she confessed to her friend. "I was intrigued. There were six different couples. As well as the black man and a white woman, two women were doing lesbian sex acts on each other.

"There were two women and a man as well. It was such an experience for me. It opened my eyes up.

"When I came out I arranged for him to have sex with a prostitute in front of me. I wanted him to choose the woman so I could see who he would want to sleep with other than me. The idea of him with somebody else doesn't turn me off at all! In the end he'd had too much to drink so he couldn't do it."

But Lorraine revealed her lover is now threatening to leave her after her boasts about their sex life.

"He's been my rock. I don't want to lose him now," she told her friend. "He doesn't live with me. I don't think one woman will ever be enough for him.

BLONDE: Lorraine minus specs

"If he wants to have sex with someone else, that's up to him. We'll be sitting in a restaurant and he'll spot a girl and say, 'She's really f***able.' I'd never met a man who would say that to his girlfriend. But I'm OK with it.

"An open relationship suits him completely. He never gets jealous. He's absolutely fine with it all."

But to keep her swinger interested, Lorraine is now trying to dramatically improve her looks. She confided in the friend that she wanted to be like glamorous fellow contestant Kate Walsh.

"Since the show I've learnt so much about improving my appearance. That's why everyone loves Kate, who's absolutely gorgeous," she said.

"I was gorgeous in my 20s. If you saw pictures of me you wouldn't recognise me. But I think I look so ugly on the show.

Glasses

"I'm much prettier without my glasses but I had an eye problem so I had to wear them during filming.

"Now I'm looking at myself in a completely different way. I'm not a vain person, but I realise I need to become much more vain if I'm going to be successful and get on in life."

Divorced Lorraine has two children, a boy and a girl, with ex-husband Theodore Apostolov, 38. She admits when he left her three years ago it turned her world upside down. "It was a very traumatic time for me.

"I was absolutely totally depressed. I was suicidally depressed. Then I met my company director."

BRUNETTE: Before fame

Lorraine quit her job at a drainage company to take part in The Apprentice after begging business contacts to give her glowing references.

The sales executive went through 12 gruelling interviews before being picked for the show, which had 30,000 applicants.

We can reveal she will turn into the show's megabitch, infuriating other contestants in upcoming episodes.

She is hated by the others after a series of sneaky manoeuvres.

Lorraine first faces the fury of Kate and her Apprentice lover Philip Taylor when she tells Sir Alan about their off-screen romance in the boardroom to undermine their chances of winning the contest. She also leaves her bewildered teammates fuming after she goes on a mammoth drinking session while filming in the seaside resort of Margate.

Lorraine has already been banned for life by budget airline BMI after she went on a 48-hour booze bender before a flight.

She was kicked off a Dublin to London plane after a hen weekend before it even took off. The captain ruled her a danger to safety.

She was born in London but moved to Ireland with her parents when she was six. She left school at 16, but later got the Higher National Certificate in Business Studies.

Now she is focused on winning the Apprentice-and keeping her swinger.

"He's a good man. I wouldn't have done The Apprentice without his support," she told her friend. "I know he loves me-but I don't think I will ever be enough for him."

Sugar loses £100m

APPRENTICE guru Sir Alan Sugar's fortune has FALLEN by a staggering £100 MILLION because of the recession.

But despite his businesses taking a pounding, the Amstrad founder and former Spurs chairman has still RISEN from 92nd to 59th richest person in Britain-because the crunch has hit so many above him harder.

The new Sunday Times Rich List shows Sir Alan, 62, is now worth £730million. An Apprentice insider said: "He'll no doubt take some flak from contestants."

Your comments

Simply begs the question 'where did these photos come from ?' Surely only from Lorraine ? So just another bit of Trash for Cash - In case she doesn't win, it looks like she found a way of generating an earner. Trouble is, these shots & this story will be around on the net every time she goes for an interview. And every time anyone Googles her (like her kids & family) Hope she got enough !

By Mark Perl.. Posted April 30 2009 at 12:53 AM.

Wow - so many comments about how this woman looks! What makes you all think SHE would want to sleep with YOU?

By libEL.. Posted April 29 2009 at 10:45 PM.

Myself and my boyfriend are swingers, we are very much in love, swinging isnt a lifestyle its just an addition to your life style. If it is really what she wants then you go girl, if its just for the boyfriends sake, get rid of him. Just cause he is good in bed dosn't mean he is the bees knees,

If she is a bi female then she wouldn't have a problem with her fella saying he would sleep with whatever female he finds sexy, all she would have to do then is agree or disagree with him.

Get off her case and get a life all you idiots that just want to see your name on this page.

By Ev.. Posted April 28 2009 at 5:59 PM.

I feel sorry for anyone that draws her car keys out of the fruit bowl!!

By Kate.. Posted April 28 2009 at 12:15 PM.

I am a mother and the thought of letting my daughter know swinging is my new life is shocking there really is a sick world out there where relationships are blurred by sexual desire this is not right and how can these people come to truely know what love is I think she is saling herself short!

By teawa.. Posted April 27 2009 at 11:29 AM.

her poor kids- they really don't deserve to read about their mother's sex life in the papers or, worse and more likely, to be told about it in the playground by the other kids.

By Okapi.. Posted April 27 2009 at 2:08 AM.

She reminds me of my my ex wife, she initiated by asking a close female friend to join us in bed & got off watching me having sex with her friend.... trouble is she went into denial afterwards.

I thought it was great to have two women, until
I realised swinging was not for me & now in a very very happy relationship with the woman my ex wife invited into bed with :)

Swingers are losers!

By exswinger.. Posted April 27 2009 at 12:07 AM.

I'd just like to echo Mary's comments. I don't think swinging is anything to be ashamed of and would rather live next door to swingers then members of the ku klux klan.

By mike.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:35 PM.

Mandy, were you Laurel or Hardy....? lol

By Jasper.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:31 PM.

ive woke up next to worse.!!!

By kjon.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:30 PM.

Who cares? It's consensual sex between adults. Hardly front page news.

Oh, and it's great to see the barely literate morons coming out of the woodwork with the predictable "Urrr... who'd want to sleep with her??? She's ugly" comments. Go back to staring vacantly at Nuts magazine, plebs.

By Nick.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:27 PM.

she may not be the prettiest girl in the world, but i'd like to see her big boobs

By rob.. Posted April 26 2009 at 5:11 PM.

if i was a member of that club and she walked in, id just say 'forget it, i want a refund'

thats gotta be false advertising!!!!

she looks like professor steven hawkings JESUSSSS

By sin champion.. Posted April 26 2009 at 4:18 PM.

Every year this show brings out the bad in people (remember Katie)she was more interested in building up her persona it is so sad to see,even during the filming these people seem to forget that everyting the do or say is on film,and when they read about themselves in the weekend papers they think that they are all of a sudden interesting or worse that they have talent.

By scott.. Posted April 26 2009 at 4:13 PM.

I think she needs treatement, she have disgusting behave to be very public apperance to our sociaty

By Rosario.. Posted April 26 2009 at 3:38 PM.

what if she swings? it is adult consented sex with like-minded people. I do not swing - I don´t even know if I would like it but I don´t find anything wrong with it. As for those putting her down: THAT A WOMAN IS PRETTY DOES NOT MAKE HER NO. 1 IN BED. She is also a highly intelligent and a sharp business person.

By MoiX.. Posted April 26 2009 at 3:34 PM.

pretty????? would scare an experienced police horse

By diesel.. Posted April 26 2009 at 2:24 PM.

Where oh where do the Apprentice producers get these old slappers from???

By Bethel.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:02 PM.

Your Fired!

By Alan sugar.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:16 PM.

What a beautiful young woman!!!! It is only right and proper that more than one man should enjoy her charms.

By Helen Li.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:26 PM.

I just cannot believe the bitchy comments made so far.

My husband and I started swinging about 5 years ago, and while it isn't everybody's cup of tea, we find it incredibly exciting. Only a few close friends know what I get up to, but after reading the reaction of your readers, perhaps I should keep quiet about it.

By Mandy.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:22 PM.

I am afraid that she has gone down in my estitmation and not because she is a swinger, that does not necessarily make one a bad person.

However, if I was out with my boyfriend and he spotted an attractive girl and said to me 'she is really f...able', I would knee him in the goolies. No decent woman would accept her fella saying that.

I think she is a very confused and insecure young lady.

By Bonnieb.. Posted April 26 2009 at 12:46 PM.

She doesn't look that bad in the first pic, i'd rather hear news like this about Kate Walsh instead though - she is hot.

By darren.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:59 AM.

Good for her! Intelligent and open-minded. I was just a little disappointed when I read that she wanted to improve her looks now when I was admiring her total self-acceptance and gusto for experiencing life. Guess she's as insecure as the rest of us...

By Anita.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:34 AM.

i think shes a good lookin women not the best but not the worset and i think its her own life if she wants to try something new let her

By dani.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:31 AM.

Being a Swinger is the least of her problems. She's a stinker.

By Tommy Mac.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:52 AM.

oh c'mon you guys, she was on a downer, we can all relate to that, she found a man who gave her her 'mojo' back, you only live ONCE, whats goin on in YOUR sex life are YOU happy? focus on whats happening in your own bedroom and stop judging, and as for her looks, she may be ugly, but shes famous now, getting money, got a hot guy, n havin great sex...Hello????

By lake.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:51 AM.

christ, thats sick who would want to swing with her, well i hope she gets fired next week!!:D

By alex.. Posted April 26 2009 at 11:15 AM.

what a mug! Does she sound desperate to hang on to that man or what. Her (ahem) "boyfriend" sounds a right charmer too. Some women will convince themselves of anything to hang on to a bloke - any bloke! Sad! Watch this daft bint unravel before your eyes...

By nice one!.. Posted April 26 2009 at 9:52 AM.

What a pig.......

By emma.. Posted April 26 2009 at 10:14 AM.

What an ugly little slapper. Bet she is fired next week.

By Jimmy B.. Posted April 26 2009 at 10:13 AM.

Liberated? No, she has no self-respect and a very low self-esteem to follow that selfish man around.

By domisol.. Posted April 26 2009 at 10:11 AM.

Why all the nasty comments about her looks? You don't look at the mantlepiece when you poke the fire.

By Jenni.. Posted April 26 2009 at 10:11 AM.

I bet they are all fighting over her with those good looks. :S

By Technica.. Posted April 26 2009 at 10:21 AM.

I don't know why everyones saying they wouldn't. Bet she is great in bed now. I would.

By ken.. Posted April 26 2009 at 9:27 AM.

A swinger - how exciting - NOT!!!!!.
No wonder Susan Boyle has taken the world by storm. A virgin? NOW THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY DIFFERENT.

By mary millar.. Posted April 26 2009 at 9:21 AM.

hmmmm , lets see ... I wonder if her bloke will be splashed all over next weeks papers with a nice cash in and a "reveal all" story ... its just carefully planned PR people , cash in on the story, and unnerve the other contestants whist trying to boost her own standing ... could backfire though this one...

By Fred.. Posted April 26 2009 at 8:56 AM.

Swinger...? MINGER is a more appropriate description!

By Dreddloxx.. Posted April 26 2009 at 8:32 AM.

Whatever you might think of her personal appearance, what an appalling set of 'confessions' for her children to read. Surely no-one cares what she does outside the family circle but the stigma of telling the world is not fair on the kids.

By pete.. Posted April 26 2009 at 8:17 AM.

her 'boyfriend' sounds like a right control freak...I wonder what his history is?

By Lilly.. Posted April 26 2009 at 8:11 AM.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, there is absolutely nothing wrong with swinging. Although, if I was to partake in this activity, I would insist on someone a lot more fortunate looking than our Lorraine.

By CAM THE MAN.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:53 AM.

swinger or not I wouldn't, no way eeeggghhhhhh

By wayne.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:51 AM.

Don't worry about being a swinger, she's blody ugly that's what she is

By Jock .. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:51 AM.

I once worked with a husband and wife, who were swingers. They looked like Laural and Hardy. You do not get many attractive swingers. Psychologist's will tell you the majority of swingers have low esteem and therefore this is the only way they can get attention. Sad?

By Tim .. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:34 AM.

More sad than bad, I'd say.

By Leo.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:25 AM.

David,

Is she your girfriend?As you protect her so much?She is the ugliest TV personal ever!

By Zach.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:45 AM.

What has looks got to do with someone, are we all stereotyped into a role in life becase of our looks. I do think the story is disgusting, not because of the ways she looks but what has she done to her childrens lives, her own, her families ect. And BTW if it was a bloke who wan't attractive lived the same life all the comments would be " Good on ya"

By Eimear.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:44 AM.

I can't understand any self respecting woman being with a man that makes lewd comments about other women in front of them and having the cheek to tell them they're the plainest woman they've ever dated. That man sounds like a real catch.... not!

By Vikki.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:39 AM.

This reminds me of "This charming man", the book by Marian Keyes. Lorraine, you better read it!
BTW, I love your brunette look!

By Jackie.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:15 AM.

Not the prettiest thing in the world, is she?

By Jonathan.. Posted April 26 2009 at 7:11 AM.

She sounds like an insecure fool to me.
Her fella probably isn't worth 10 seconds let alone a life time of underselling yourself.
Her kids will be so proud of her for revealing this tacky story.

By clueless.. Posted April 26 2009 at 6:48 AM.

What ever way you look at her she is ugly. Unwashed looking. Hardly a good advertisment for swingers. If thats the standard well you can keep it.

By Dom Dom.. Posted April 26 2009 at 6:34 AM.

Wow. Look at the all the school bullies gathering to comment on this woman's looks. If ever there was a written gallery for the bitter and twisted, then just read all the comments posted. No wonder humanity is going down the pan when this is the plain nasty consensus. The only thing that's ugly about this story is the reader comments. Whatever life did to you guys, I feel sorry for you......Dave, Surrey

By David Oaks.. Posted April 26 2009 at 4:24 AM.

She is pretty.......pretty ugly

By Scott Webb.. Posted April 26 2009 at 2:28 AM.

That underexposed photo negative is the worst fancy dress I've ever worn, no wonder I didn't see what she was up to.

By Les Happy.. Posted April 26 2009 at 2:10 AM.

Wot a dog! She is worried about what her b/f thinks?? So why did the stupid woman speak out in the first place??

Answer............... money!!

By xxx.. Posted April 26 2009 at 2:05 AM.

It'll take more than losing the glasses to make that thing attractive. Ugliest looking woman I've seen on TV in some time, she makes Gail Platt look doable.

By Pamela.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:41 AM.

TV star? TV star? Where is the TV star?

By jacqueline.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:17 AM.

After a night of drinking ALL of u saying you wouldn't touch her probably would. You don't have to lie to kick it.

I think this lady clearly has a low self-steam, and is only pretending to be into orgyes to keep her mans attention.
An x of mine tried to convince me to participate in orgys by telling me that he just wanted to see what I looked like having sex from a different angle ha!! I was 18 at the time and he was much older than I.

By Bunch of liars.. Posted April 26 2009 at 1:05 AM.

I wouldnt touch her with a bargepole ........ or yours. I love how she keeps trying to convince everyone she is pretty haha.

By David Falconer.. Posted April 25 2009 at 11:57 PM.

of course swinging is not dirty or shamefull but she certainly looks dirty(as in unclean,not kinky) and i would certainley be feeling shameful if i ever woke up next to her

By craig davidson.. Posted April 25 2009 at 11:54 PM.

Swinging is nowt to be ashamed of. Nothing wrong with a group of like minded adults having fun.
I agree with Mary.

By Lorna Wanstall.. Posted April 25 2009 at 11:43 PM.

I would rather be a virgin for the rest of my life!Show me the man who would face her!!!

By matty.. Posted April 25 2009 at 11:29 PM.

Why is being a swinger dirty and something to be ashamed of. I'm not a swinger and don't wish to be but don't think it's anything bad. I'd rather my neighbours be swingers than kiddy fiddlers.

By mary.. Posted April 25 2009 at 11:18 PM.

Your joking, she looks like a rat, who would want to sleep with her??????? They mjst have extremely low standards
