Sir Alan Sugar, the star of BBC's The Apprentice, has bought a significant stake in struggling retailer Woolworths.
The businessman - famous for his "You're fired" catchphrase - sold his Amstrad firm, which makes set-top TV boxes, to satellite broadcaster BSkyB last year. He now concentrates on his property interests. Sir Alan's Amsprop company has a 3.88 per cent stake in the Woolworths after purchasing £2m of shares.
