Stuart Baggs
Breakout star of The Apprentice, Stuart "The Brand" Baggs revealed a more philanthropic side in our Cosmo shoot: "I like to help causes like Everyman that are a bit hidden away. Men can be a bit funny talking about testicular cancer."
Stuart Baggs was a telecoms entrepreneur from the Isle of Man and was 21 when he appeared on The Apprentice. He was educated at Ramsey Grammar School, and had a fear of The Muppets character Sam Eagle. His first business venture was when he sold yo-yos on the school playground. At thirteen he launched his own telecommunications company, Bluewave Communications, which became a limited company on his eighteenth birthday and which he continued to run. He styled himself as "Stuart Baggs—the brand" and nicknamed himself "Herr Baggs" in the crisp-selling task.
Baggs produced some memorable quotes throughout the series, including: "Everything I touch turns to sold", "Excuse me, sir, you look like a sausage connoisseur" (quoted to Lord Sugar), "I'm not a one-trick pony, I'm not a ten-trick pony, I have a whole field of ponies—and they're literally all running towards this job", and the infamous "I have to rein in my own extreme masculinity in this task." Baggs was eliminated in week 11. WalesOnline perceived him as "one of the truly great Apprentice villains."
Before firing him, Lord Sugar told Baggs that he was "full of shit" and guilty of dressing up his credentials for his own gain, with particular reference to a telecommunications licence issued in 2006. Sugar added that Baggs' claims had left him annoyed at himself, as he had fired Liz Locke in the previous week before he was aware of the lie. Baggs denied that he had lied on his CV about the company. Baggs was not invited back to participate in the final.
Baggs appeared as a contestant on Channel 4's Celebrity Five Go To in May 2011. He also appeared on Pointless Celebrities with fellow ex-Apprentice contestant Joanna Riley in July 2011. Whilst on the show, he claimed to have tried a food called Panayiotou, when in actuality, it was George Michael's surname. He was a regular panelist/reporter for Big Brother's Bit On The Side from August 2011. In February 2013, he appeared on The Sarah Millican Television Programme and said that The Apprentice had "made him the most unemployable person in the country". In November 2014, he appeared as a contestant on Come Dine With Me in his home country, which he called "great fun" while admitting that he was "a terrible cook".
Baggs was found dead on 30 July 2015, aged 27, as a result of an asthma attack.
