Wippa, 41, explained that despite working for the billionaire on the show, the only time contestants actually got to spend time with him was after each of the tasks.
‘It would have been nice to because he is a good guy, the interaction I did have with him, he said.
‘In our assurance he might be the guy you might see on the show, but he’s also a good bloke playing a role and he has been in that show for 15 years in the UK.
‘He knows how it works.’

As to suggestions that executives might put their thumb on the scales to influence the results, Wippa claimed it wouldn’t be possible given Sugar’s final say.
‘He makes that decision. I do know that,’ he said.
While Martha has now been eliminated from the show, viewers were outraged after she was saved during Sunday’s episode despite ‘cheating’ in a challenge.
During the episode, her boyfriend Michael Brunelli spent more than $950 on his girlfriend’s ice cream, boosting her sales considerably.
When confronted by Lord Sugar in the boardroom, Martha tried to deny it.
