A FORMER Croydon schoolgirl could be about to go into business with Lord Sugar after reaching the final of The Apprentice.
Bianca Miller, who used to attend Beulah Infants School, made it through the gruelling interview stage on Wednesday night's semi-final, impressing the Amstrad founder's notoriously hard to please interviewers with her passion and business plan.
If she wins the final, to be screened on Sunday night on BBC1, Bianca hopes to create a new range of ladies hosiery, with the help of Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment on the table for the show's victor.
Bianca was overcome with emotion during an interview with former Apprentice winner Ricky Martin, but soon regained her composure and was complimented on her business proposal by Lord Sugar and his right-hand man Nick Hewer.
The 25-year-old will go up against Aussie Mark Wright, 24, in the final.
At the moment Bianca runs The B Group, a 'personal branding' service which has an office at Cygnet House, in Sydenham Road, Croydon.
