The right person won in the end, with Stella English piping Chris Bates to the post with her well branded bourbon drink. Although it was a close call, experience triumphed over youth and rightly so.
Both finalists stepped up their game in the last task on Sunday night which saw them create a new alcoholic drink targeted at men and women over 25-years-old. Joined by former contestants, minus ‘Stuart the brand Baggs’, Stella created a bourbon based drink mixed with honey and spices, while Chris’ team came up with a rum based pomegranate and vanilla drink named Prism, it’s unique selling point a pyramid-shaped bottle. But Chris’ downfall was the colour of his drink, chosen by team mates Liz and Shibby, a feminine rose pink. Sensible Stella stuck to bourbon’s natural colour in a tall, slim bottle. Although feedback was that the drink was too pungent and the bottle looked like a vinegar bottle.
However despite some negative comments, Sir Alan Sugar chose the candidate with 10 years business experience. 2011 looks set to be a Stella year for the mum of two.
