The Apprentice winner Joseph Valente 'knew he'd be successful'

A plumber from Peterborough who was expelled from school and went on to win The Apprentice 2016 said he always knew he would be successful.

Joseph Valente, 25, beat social media entrepreneur Vana Koutsomitis in the final of the BBC One show.

He has won a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar for his business idea, Prime Time Plumbers (now called Impra-Gas).

"Thank you, Lord Sugar. It means the world to me," Joseph said after being told he'd won. "I'm not going to let you down. I really appreciate it."
