Sugar said that he was intrigued by Ma's cosmetic company plans, which she revealed in the final, and claimed that there was a possibility she could be reunited with the show's winner Tom Pellereau.
Pellereau won the £250,000 investment from Sugar, which the pair are expected to use in a curved nail file business.

"Susan, do you know what, I always wanted to be in the cosmetics industry and Susan's definitely got something about her," he said.
"All I can say is, I would like to keep in close contact there, because there may be some synergy there between the nail file. There could be a deal to be done."
"When it comes to salesmanship and his way with people, Jim may want to tackle the Irish debt," he joked.
"He might be able to sort it. If anyone ever needs a sales person, he is the man."

couldn't belive after 12 weeks of hard work two of the finalists "business ideas" were rubbish.... a concierge service and e learning.If they were asked at the start of the process I doubt these two would have got past the 1st week.

Seems Sugar had a soft spot for Tom throughout the process but he always had an advantage as the inventor

Got the impression from You're Hired that Sugar really didn't like anything Tom wanted to do :/ He was just rude about his chair idea and forced him back to nail files.
