"I do worry and think about whether I'm still going to be healthy and well." The Apprentice biggest moments THE Apprentice has been a fan favourite ever since it burst onto the box in 2005. Here we take a look at five of the biggest moments over the years on the hit BBC One show. Tim Campbell - Former London Underground transport manager Tim Campbell won the first series of the reality show in 2005. He is now one of Lord Sugar's aides on the show. Sarah Lynn and James White - For the first and only time in the show's history, both finalists were crowned winners in 2017. Amy Anzel - Season 16's fired candidate Amy Anzel was BANNED from the final celebration show, after a tit-for-tat exchange over Lord Sugar's mocking tweets. Michelle Dewberry - Telecoms consultant Michelle Dewberry won the second series of the show in 2006. However, after winning a six-figure job with Lord Sugar she lasted just four months before she sensationally quit. Selena Waterman-Smith - We're used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time - into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain. The TV star continued: "I'm very fit for my age, and even though I look much younger than what I am, biologically, I am still what I am. "But like, I say, I think if you're not going to live life in your discomfort zone, there's no point living, and I always live by that motto."
