Sian Gabbidon is this year’s ‘The Apprentice’ winner.
The 26-year-old swimwear brand owner was crowned the winner of the 16th season of the business reality show on Sunday night (16.12.18) and Sian is proud to be a "mixed race girl from Leeds" and hopes that her new title will inspire young girls who have a "dream".
In an exclusive interview with BANG Showbiz, she said:"Do you know what? I think that there’s a lot of boxes that I’ve ticked and I’m just really proud I’m a mixed race girl, I’m from Leeds I’m quite young and in fashion.
"I hope I can inspire a lot of young girls who’ve got a bit of a dream and they’re unsure whether they should do it or not just give it a go, that’s what I did and that’s how I got here."
Sian admitted that her parents couldn’t hold back tears after she was names Lord Sugar’s new business partner, and insisted that her time on the show was a "thank you" to them.
She said: "My mum and dad were crying they were just absolutely over the moon and it’s just really nice for them cos they’ve given me everything.
"You know they have worked their whole lives and everything has been given to me, so to get to this point now this is like me saying thank you to them."
Despite runner-up Camilla Ainsworth being disappointed with Lord Sugar’s choice, she remains hopeful that her business will grow, and thinks her possibilities are "endless".
She said: "I’m 22, the business has just turned a year old and there’s a lot of potential still, look how far I’ve grown in one year.
"Imagine how much I can grow in three four years, you know the possibilities are endless and I’m so excited about what I’ve got coming up with the brand."
