Sian Gabbidon triumphed over Camilla Ainsworth in Sunday's final (December 16), where both candidates pitched their business plans to Lord Sugar and a host of industry experts.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Sian explained of the "heated" exchange: "We were in there to win. We had our business heads and we had our friendship heads.

"We knew when to turn it on and off. We were both in it to win it and there was no way I was going to get to that point and think I best to say this because I didn’t want to offend anyone.

She continued: "It did end up becoming quite heated but it’s kind of what you have to do in business sometimes."

Camilla continued: "It’s really difficult because there’s £250,000 at stake. It’s not pocket change. I think me and Sian are both mature enough and good enough friends that we can say our piece and move on.

"In business, take advice and don’t take anything personally. That’s always been my motto."

"In that intense environment, you’ve just got to say it how it is," she added.

Elsewhere, Camilla has spoken out on the all-female final, and revealed why none of the boys made it to the final, in her opinion.

Sian, meanwhile, has shared her pride at winning the show, and her feeling that she's achieved something "massive".

"I feel absolutely over the moon. I’m still pinching myself. I still keep thinking, 'I hope he's not going to change his mind'," Sian told DS. "It’s crazy. Yeah, I feel amazing."
