ALAN Sugar reduced some contestants on Junior Apprentice to tears when he told them: "You're fired!"
The tough tycoon, 63, had been expected to go easier on the 16 and 17-year-olds.

But insiders said some of the ten wannabe entrepreneurs left his famous boardroom sobbing.

The scenes will be shown when the series launches on BBC1 on May 12.

An insider said: "Some people might have been expecting a kind of CBBC show but it's not like that at all.

"Alan showed understanding for the teenagers as he knows how tough it is to be in business at that age.

"But he was never going to be easy on them - and they wouldn't have wanted him to.

"There are some real characters in the show. Some of them give the adults from the main series a run for their money."

Lord Sugar has said he wanted to do a Junior Apprentice as he left school at 16 with no money or qualifications, but still managed to build a business empire.

The youngsters lived together in a house while the series was filmed.

But there was no "hanky panky" among them - unlike the adult contestants.

The source said: "Lord Sugar worked them all very hard - they were too tired to get up to anything."

The show marks the Apprentice debut for new mentor Karren Brady, who joins Nick Hewer and Sugar.

The main series is due in November.
