“The cosmetics industry is one I know a lot about, and I know our partnership will pave the way for a bright future.”

Lord Sugar also told The Sun: “Just like me, 20 years on, The Apprentice is still at its best. Gen Z loves the show and can’t get enough of it. I feel the same way.”

Speaking about winning the show, Karishma said: “I can’t believe it.

“Because when I was doing it by myself, I was going at my own pace.

“Now, there’s a bit more pressure, because I have to really convince him that he made the right decision to have picked me.

“I feel like I will never get over this experience. Nothing in my life will ever compare. I just got engaged – so what?!”
