Glasgow Times:

In her audition for the 12th series, Ms Hughes stated: “My salon is called VIP, so I always say: ‘VIP - it’s the only way to be. Look VIP, act VIP and be VIP'."

She, however, confessed to feeling "out of my comfort zone" while taking part in the show, in which candidates compete to win a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar for their business plans.
