WHITCHURCH Town Councillor Gregory Ebbs is looking forward to new opportunities after the intensity of his appearance on The Apprentice.

Cllr Ebbs was fired by Lord Sugar in week three of The Apprentice after being brought into the boardroom after a bad cartoon led to his team losing the task.

He spoke about how more people have been visiting his website since appearing on the show.

Cllr Ebbs said: "We have a few things going. Obviously, we are going to try and keep working on the website.

"We had so much traffic yesterday, so many people used it last night.

"I would love to go into TV presenting, certainly history documentaries. It is something I have been very passionate about."

Cllr Ebbs mentioned how the show had benefited him as a learning experience.

He said: "I think the show is very much a learning experience.

"One thing it taught me is anything is possible."

He explained that the experience of Lord Sugar in person was similar to what viewers see on their TV screens.

Whitchurch Herald:

Cllr Ebbs said: "Lord Sugar is an extremely successful businessman because he isn't going out there to make friends.

"He is there to make as much money as possible.

"You go in and he is scrutinising you in the most detailed way possible.

"So it is very intimidating and intense. At the end of the day you go into the boardroom and you know this an opportunity to present yourself in a positive light.

"It is worth the shot no matter how stressful it is."

He spoke highly about Lord Sugar's assistants, Baroness Brady, Claude Littner and Tim Campbell.

Cllr Ebbs. "It has been a fantastic opportunity. I spent time with Baroness Brady in the first episode and she was absolutely lovely.

"Tim was absolutely great, he is a really fun and pleasant person.

"It was an absolutely fantastic experience meeting all three of them."

Cllr Ebbs was asked if he was impressed by any candidates or who he thought could win, but he spoke highly of all the candidates on the show.

He said: "It showcases individual skills in different aspects.

"I can't really place a single bet on anybody. There are a lot of very good candidates.

"Anyone who gets on the show deserves the opportunity."
