The Apprentice star Pascha Myhill weighs in on Karren Brady’s ‘Hollywood’ makeover

The Apprentice star Pascha Myhill has weighed in on Karren Brady’s ‘Hollywood’ makeover. 

Pascha, a 21-year-old recruitment consultant from Reading, almost secured a £250,000 investment and a partnership with Lord Sugar, but Karishma Vijay, 28, who owns a beauty brand, ultimately won this year’s competition.

While on the BBC show, Pascha collaborated with business professionals Karren, 57, and Tim Campbell, 46, as they observed the contestants’ performance on various challenges.

She shared her opinions on the two of them in a recent episode of the ‘Spill with Will’ podcast.

Pascha said: ‘Tim is great. Karren is also great.’ 

‘Karen is scary!’ host William Grande replied. ‘She’s gorgeous, though.’ 

William said he has no ill will towards Karren, but he’s noticed she’s really embraced the Hollywood lifestyle lately, and he thinks it’s great!

Karren has been turning heads with her amazing appearance in recent Instagram photos, and she’s recently stated that she hasn’t used any weight loss injections.

Pascha responded, saying she doubts the person actually manages their own social media. She thinks whoever is running it is just doing the bare minimum.

‘Kiss times one, Hollywood… cheek bones,’ William chimed in. 

Pascha replied: ‘Cheek bones. Love that! Glowing. I mean she looks fab. She does look fab.’ 

The entrepreneur explained that Tim understands what people are going through because he’s been in the same situation himself, making him very relatable.

While we were in Egypt, we’d often see each other at breakfast. He’d be getting an omelet, and I’d ask if he was okay. He’d ask me the same thing, and I’d tell him I was fine. It was just a quick, routine check-in.

It’s good to build a friendly relationship with him now, because in five days we’ll be meeting in a formal setting. Knowing we’ve already chatted makes it less intimidating to be in front of him – it helps you feel more at ease.

It feels strange calling Baroness Brady ‘Karren’ – we’re not close enough for that. I always refer to her as ‘Baroness Brady’ because, frankly, she’s quite intimidating.

‘She’s earnt her diva ship though’, William chimed in.

Pascha explained that he finds it difficult to make eye contact with her. He said that when he confronted her and Tim about their past, she stared at him so intensely it felt like he was seeing things.

I’m feeling tired and ready for bed after meeting her. She has a very powerful presence and is an incredible woman. It was lovely to have a conversation with her; it was a truly pleasant experience.

Last month, Karren showcased her fit physique in a stylish blue outfit, sharing glamorous photos on Instagram before the finale of The Apprentice.

The actress responded to rumors about her recent weight loss, clarifying that she didn’t use any medications to achieve it.

She stated she hadn’t used any cosmetic injections and explained her physical changes were the result of a healthy diet and consistent workouts.

She told The Sun that people asking about her weight loss felt like an attempt to undermine her or make her self-conscious.

She stated she doesn’t use Ozempic, but she frequently faces unwanted questions about her weight. She wishes people would focus on her professional accomplishments instead.

Karren continued, explaining that everyone has the right to make their own choices about their body, and she fully supports that. However, she believes people often act as if they have more knowledge than they actually do, or simply make assumptions.

Whether or not I chose to do something with my body is my decision. I believe the way people discuss women’s bodies often aims to make them feel small or insecure.

I’ve faced constant criticism about my body throughout my life – sometimes people say I’m too big, other times too small. Ultimately, I just want to feel healthy and confident, both in my body and in my mind.

She used to lose up to five kilograms before each season of The Apprentice, wanting to appear her usual size and avoid looking larger than Alan Sugar, who she noted is very fit and healthy.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE this! Karren Brady, she’s like, a total powerhouse at West Ham, told me Lord Sugar’s actually been getting into health and fitness! Apparently, they’ve been motivating each other – it’s the cutest! He’s got a health buddy in Karren, and I’m just living for it! It’s amazing to see him taking care of himself, and with Karren cheering him on, he’s unstoppable!

He’s really in great shape. My husband and he enjoy cycling together when we’re on vacation. He’s incredibly fit, so he’s actually the one giving me advice on fitness!

We had a fantastic trip around Italy on Lord Sugar’s boat. He’s a really kind person and has a beautiful family.

Despite being a busy mom of two, she’s committed to staying in shape and has made exercise a regular part of her life.

She emphasized the importance of making time for exercise, especially as we age. She personally sticks to a regular fitness schedule, focusing on cardio and weight training, and enjoys swimming occasionally.

I usually go three or four times a week, but I don’t have a fixed schedule. Between my full-time job and frequent voting commitments at the House of Lords, I just go whenever I have the time.
