The Apprentice

Dewberry cited her reasons for entering The Apprentice as being for the experience and not the money.

In 2006, Dewberry beat off competition from over 15,000 people to become the winner of the second British series of reality TV show The Apprentice, in which candidates compete for a £100,000-a-year job working for business magnate Sir Alan Sugar. Dewberry's quiet but steely demeanour led to her being nicknamed the "Silent Assassin", and "Steel Pixie" by the British press.

After The Apprentice

In July 2006, The Sun newspaper revealed that she was pregnant by Syed Ahmed, a fellow contestant on The Apprentice, with whom she had formed a romantic relationship. After being admitted to hospital with stomach pains in August 2006, Dewberry was told that she had lost the baby.

Dewberry has subsequently ceased working for Sir Alan, and runs her own consultancy: Michelle Dewberry Ltd (MDL) and www.chiconomise.com. In total, she worked for him for 11 months.

In 2007, she released an autobiography, Anything is Possible.

In December 2009, Dewberry joined Business Matters magazine as a monthly columnist alongside Duncan Bannatyne

Charity work

In 2007, Dewberry ran the London Marathon in 4hrs 33mins 20secs to raise funds and awareness for the NSPCC. She completed the 2009 London Marathon in 4hrs 26mins 23secs and is currently in training to compete in the MS Challenger 4 day event to again raise funds for the NSPCC.
