On Wednesday night, Northern Irish doctor Leah Totton was chosen as this year’s winner of the UK version of The Apprentice.
The 24-year-old overcame rival Luisa Zissman in the hotly contested final, with Tottons plan to launch a chain of clinics providing high-street facial medical cosmetic procedures finding favour with the investor.
Another high profile doctor was less than impressed at the decision, however. Christian Jessen, presenter of Embarrassing Bodies, took to Twitter last night to express his disappointment at the decision, saying; "Alan Sugar has certainly not done patient safety and medical aesthetics any favours by promoting very junior doc 2 run Botox/filler clinics!" [sic].
Jessen fronts the hugely popular show Embarrassing Bodies
He added that he worried about “the image projected on the show of these procedures”, and asked “I wonder if you know that there was a recent case of a patient rendered completely blind in one eye after having facial fillers...?”
Totton, who is set to appear on Miriam O'Callaghan's RTÉ chat show this Saturday night, previously claimed to be surprised at ethical questions surrounding her venture, claiming she would turn away people who 'didn't need' the treatments.
