From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Alan Sugar is no longer working with former Apprentice winner Sian Gabbidon, it has emerged.
The 2018 series winner received a £250,000 investment from the entrepreneur for her loungewear company Sian Marie Fashion.
However, Sugar is no longer listed as a director of the company and no longer has any investment in the business, according to records available on Companies House.
The Independent has contacted Sugar and Gabbidon for comment.
The news comes just weeks after Sugar crowned Harpreet Kaur the latest winner of the reality show which was originally hosted by Donald Trump in the US.
Kaur won the show with her confectionary company Oh So Yum which sells sweets and cakes for sale online and in shops.
Upon winning the show, Kaur said: “I cannot believe Lord Sugar has chosen me to be his business partner! I have dreamed of this moment, and it just completely proves that if you work hard and you believe in yourself, dreams do come true.”
Other past notable Apprentice contestants include Katie Hopkins, Luisa Zissman, Ruth Badger and GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry.
Sugar has parted ways with a number of the show’s past winners, including Joseph Valente, Alana Spencer and 2017 winner James White.
