The Apprentice
Dewberry cited her reasons for entering The Apprentice as being for the experience and not the money.[3]
In 2006, Dewberry beat off competition from over 15,000 people to become the winner of the second British series of reality TV show The Apprentice, in which candidates compete for a £100,000-a-year job working for business magnate Sir Alan Sugar. Dewberry's quiet but steely demeanour led to her being nicknamed the "Silent Assassin",[4] and "Steel Pixie"[5] by the British press.
After The Apprentice
In July 2006, The Sun newspaper revealed that she was pregnant by Syed Ahmed, a fellow contestant on The Apprentice, with whom she had formed a romantic relationship.[6] After being admitted to hospital with stomach pains in August 2006, Dewberry was told that she had lost the baby.[7]
Dewberry has subsequently ceased working for Sir Alan, and runs her own consultancy: Michelle Dewberry Ltd (MDL) and www.chiconomise.com.[8] In total, she worked for him for 11 months.
In 2007, she released an autobiography, Anything is Possible. [9]
In December 2009, Dewberry joined Business Matters magazine as a monthly columnist alongside Duncan Bannatyne [10]
Charity work
In 2007, Dewberry ran the London Marathon in 4hrs 33mins 20secs to raise funds and awareness for the NSPCC.[11] She completed the 2009 London Marathon in 4hrs 26mins 23secs and is currently in training to compete in the MS Challenger 4 day event to again raise funds for the NSPCC.[12][13]
