Young Apprentice star James ordered to 'sit up straight' – Daily TV round-up


'Young Apprentice' star James McCullagh was taken to task for his slovenly posture and told to 'sit up straight' during an interview on BBC morning show 'Breakfast'.

The scruffy would-be entrepreneur appeared overly relaxed as the interview began, upon which host Sian Williams, a mother of four, decided to pick him up on his manners.

“You're so laid back, you’re horizontal,” she said to McCullagh, who was slouching on the sofa.

“If you were my son I'd tell you to sit up properly.”

James McCullagh then did as he was told and remained upright for the remainder of the interview, which was conducted alongside his fellow 'Young Apprentice' finalist Zara Brownless.

The pair appeared on the show ahead of last night's final, in which they competed for a £25,000 cash prize from Lord Sugar.

Kelly Rowland is reportedly after her 'X Factor' judging job for next year's show. She's even thinking about moving to the UK. “There is no place like the UK 'X Factor'. If Simon wants me back next year then that would be good,” she said. “I’m definitely considering buying a house over here as I love it here. My mother would have a problem with me moving because it’s so far away from home so she may have to move with me.” [Daily Mirror]
