Katie Hopkins, star of The Apprentice, with Tim Field, head of learning at Sunderland College
She famously walked out on Lord Sugar – but Apprentice star Katie Hopkins was happy to make a date with Sunderland College students.
Katie, 37, starred in the third series of the hit TV reality programme and caused headlines with her dramatic withdrawal from the boardroom when she turned down a place in the final.
Since then, economist Katie has carved out a successful career as a business operator and management consultant.
And Sunderland College business students got the benefit of her quick wit and business acumen when she travelled to the city to take part in a special event organised by the college.
