Lord Sugar Apprentice Winner Ready for Launch
The makers of BBC reality show The Apprentice are preparing to make two food brands that were created in this year’s tasks into real-world companies.
Pie brand MyPy and biscuit brand Special Stars have been trademarked by the programme’s creators in preparation for bringing them to market.
The Apprentice is produced by Talkback Thames, a division of Fremantle Media, which also makes The X-Factor and Never Mind the Buzzcocks and stars Lord Sugar.
MyPy, a restaurant chain that focused on British ingredients, was invented by series winner Tom Pellereau and runner-up Helen Louise Milligan.
Fans of the The Apprentice set up a MyPy Facebook group, calling on the show’s producers or outside investors to turn the fast food pie restaurant idea into reality.
