I was on The Apprentice and there’s strict rules inside the £17million mansion from sex ban to no TV
A FORMER star of The Apprentice has revealed the strict rules inside the £17million mansion that houses contestants.
The BBC programme bans its stars from having sex in the huge home as well as watching TV in bizarre regulations.
Ryan-Mark Parsons, who rose to fame on the programme in 2019, opened up that there are “chaperones” in the mansion to keep the contestants on their best behaviour.
The TV star – who has since appeared on Celebs Go Dating – admitted they “couldn’t go anywhere” without producers following.
Ryan-Mark, 24, exclusively told The Sun that it would have been “difficult” to have a “sexual relationship” with any of his co-stars.
“It would be difficult,” he said. “We worked non-stop doing crazy hours like starting at 4am and getting back at 12am.
“You would see people flirting and touchy feely… It was back to back, so there wasn’t any time anyway.
“It was difficult for them to take it further in the house, there were chaperones 24/7.
“We couldn’t go anywhere without a producer. We couldn’t let loose or chill out and talk about the task.
“You’re trapped in a bubble. We couldn’t watch TV or films, it was really restrictive. We had no idea what was happening.”
It comes after Ryan-Mark slammed this year’s series of The Apprentice saying the contestants are “dull and boring”.
He admitted that the current series is nothing compared to the year he appeared on it.
Known for being brutally honest with his opinions, Ryan-Mark didn’t hold back, saying the contestants need to be “bolder” if they want to impress Lord Alan Sugar.
He said: “I think they need to be bolder, no characters I have to say. I haven’t heard any headlines.
“I think they’re a bit boring and dull this year, nothing on my year.”
Ryan-Mark joined The Apprentice, aged 19, as the youngest ever candidate since the show began in 2005.
He had many stand out moments which left viewers in hysterics, including the time he tested one of the rollercoasters at Thorpe Park in week six but was ultimately fired “with regret” two weeks later.
