She may have lost out to on first place, but Claire Young is no sore loser.

The Apprentice runner-up  took the loss in her stride, proving there were no hard feelings when she was pictured with winner Lee McQueen.

The pair landed jobs at one of Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar's firms Viglen in St Alban, where they  took time out to enjoy lunch in afternoon sunshine.

Fresh-faced, the job doesn't seem to be affecting her social life as Claire later spent a night on the tiles with fellow contestant Michael Sophocles.

The two hit London hotspot Movida on Saturday after a meal at trendy restaurant cocoon, emerging at 4am looking rather worse for wear.

Nicknamed the Rottweiller for going after what she wants, Claire clearly has no problems keeping her romantic options open.

As well as keeping the two men's company, single Claire also recently revealed she used to date Zara Phillips' boyfriend Mark Tindall.

She said: "I was completely besotted but he had an army of girls who wanted him,"

“Mike had an amazing body and was the most brilliant kisser.”
