Angela Scanlon was intimidated by Lord Sugar on The Celebrity Apprentice
The Celebrity Apprentice star Angela Scanlon thought that Lord Sugar was "intimidating" as she took part in the Christmas special of the show.
Angela Scanlon found Lord Sugar "intimidating" on The Celebrity Apprentice.
The 41-year-old presenter is among the contestants in the two-part Christmas special of the BBC reality show and explained how the host wasn't afraid of shooting some withering glares in the direction of the candidates on the show.
Angela told the Metro newspaper's 60 Seconds column: "He was intimidating, honestly.
"Obviously, you know it's a character... but, then is it? He's got real presence and he's got a 'stink eye' that I've not seen in real life very often."
Angela features in the show with the likes of TV presenter AJ Odudu, JLS star JB Gill and EastEnders actor Jake Wood and explained that things got competitive at times as the candidates were tasked with making and selling festive biscuits for BBC Children in Need.
She said: "It's only two episodes, so it's definitely shorter and punchier and I would say a little off the rails in places.
"I want to say, maybe we're a competitive bunch, even though we're not actually jostling for an apprenticeship. There's definitely a kind of thirst and determination for people to win."
Scanlon admits that she isn't concerned if she looks "foolish" at points during the show.
The Irish star said: "Maybe I should have thought about that a bit more deeply! But no, when I'm in, I'm in. I definitely did look foolish at points. But you know, I can live with that."
Angela has been tipped by Richard Osman as a potential candidate to host Strictly Come Dancing once Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman depart the BBC Saturday night staple and she is flattered to be mentioned in such conversations.
The broadcaster – who danced on Strictly in 2023 – said: "Richard is amazing and to be uttered in the same breath as Tess and Claudia, who I admire so much? It's phenomenal."
However, Angela is less struck on the idea of taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! as she doesn't know if she can cope with the eating trials.
She said: "I'm not sure my stomach would handle it. If it's vitamins or healthy food and you're telling me it's going to make my memory better or something, I'll eat anything.
"But I just don't know if I want visuals forever of me projectile vomiting kangaroo balls out my mouth. But look, never say never."
