TV Apprentice hopeful Christopher Farrell pleads guilty to fraud - mirror.co.uk: "CONTESTANT on this year’s Apprentice admitted fraud charges yesterday.

Former Royal Marine Christopher Farrell, 29, falsified mortgage applications to banks and building societies by inflating his clients’ salaries and inventing jobs for them.

The broker – seen being fired by Lord Sugar in Week 8 of the BBC1 show in November – was “desperate” to obtain mortgages for clients so he could meet his monthly £5,000 target and get a bonus.

His clients were completely unaware of the scam.

Farrell was caught after investigations by Santander Bank found he had altered official documents.

He was arrested in August – shortly before the latest series of the pre-recorded Apprentice began.

When fired following a task to sell crisps in Germany, Lord Sugar described Farrell as a “nice guy” who lacked a “ruthless streak”."
