Lee McQueen not only managed to win The Apprentice, but he also won a lot of female viewers' hearts during the show.
However Lee is a one-woman-man and he has now taken the opportunity to thank his long-term girlfriend for being his inspiration to succeed.
The 30-year-old former salesman, who has just landed his dream £100,000 a year job with Sir Alan Sugar, began dating blonde company director Nicola Jellyman nine years ago when he was drawn to her ambition.
Nicola and Lee now share a home together in Buckinghamshire but Lee admits that he would like marriage and children.
Lee told Hello! magazine: "She's been a huge inspiration to me. She's fantastic at what she does and she's drop-dead gorgeous - she's got it all!
"She was really driven and ambitious and that was massively attractive to me. I could tell she was going places and I wanted to be part of it."
To find someone who inspires you, search for your perfect date!
