Ben ClarkeBen Clarke famously claimed that he thinks making money is better than sex, and then went and proved it by selling his story to the highest bidder.

So, rather than give him a grilling, we bid farewell to this series' cockiest Apprentice candidate with a selection of his best bits.

The trainee stockbroker finally felt the wrath of Sir Alan's pointy finger after failing to back up his outlandish claims with actual facts.

Sadly it seems Ben would rather make a few quid by selling an exclusive interview to a 'well-respected' publication than spend a few minutes chatting to us. If we're honest, we're not too disappointed. Rude, crude and with an ego the size of Sir Alan's bank balance, Ben didn't do much to make us warm to him during his nine weeks on The Apprentice.

But there's no doubt that between the constant boasting and his bullying boardroom antics, Ben was the candidate we loved to hate. Here's why...

The Sandhurst Scholarship
Never in the history of TV has anybody boasted so much about an achievement they didn't actually achieve. Maybe Ben should taken the military up on their offer - the experience would certainly have knocked some sense into him.

If Ben thought he was going to impress Sir Alan with his prowess, he needs to think again. "Don't start banging on about bloody Sandhurst again," fumed the billionaire in the boardroom. "I was in the Jewish Lad’s Brigade, Stamford Hill Division but it didn't make me sell computers when I got older!"

Well, that's him told.

The Endless Bragging
"I've come up with a bloody great product," Ben declared during week three, in which the teams had to design and sell gym equipment. "I've actually shocked myself here."

The self-proclaimed Gavin Henson look-a-like went on to slap his own buttocks during a sales pitch and cheekily claimed: "It makes perfect sense that I do the modelling. Out of the men, I'd say I probably am the best-looking." Talk about setting yourself up for a fall.

The Aggressive Arguing
We've seen some boardroom brawls before, but Ben's aggressive antics are in a league of their own. From "If I have to take people to bits I will do. I'll bite their bloody teeth out," to "I've got the ammunition loaded up to absolutely drill them into the ground," and "I'm going to rip people limb-from-limb." Does this guy know what he sounds like?

But alongside all that bravado, Ben knows how to whinge to get what he wants. It seems yelping "Can I just finish?" at any given opportunity is the perfect way to silence colleagues about to dish out criticism.

So what's next for the Belfast lad? Entirely lacking in charm and humility, we wouldn't be surprised if the clearly fame-hungry Ben is soon splashed across tabloids and signing up for whatever desperate reality TV shows are on the table. After all, the equally loathsome Katie Hopkins, Sayed Ahmed and Michael Sophocles are still on our radar. More's the pity.
