The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur is engaged to her former co-star Akshay Thakrar.

The entrepreneur, 31, who bagged herself the £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar in 2021, announced the news with a sweet Instagram post on Monday alongside her beau, 28.

The stunning proposal scene took place on a London rooftop with a rose display, sparklers and an LED sign which read: ‘Will you marry me?’

Harpreet looked glamorous in a metallic gown while showing off her dazzling engagement ring from the London Diamond Dealer.

Alongside the loved-up snap, Akshay penned: ‘I would find you in any lifetime❤️ Our journey began in the most unexpected way. Now it’s time to begin our forever chapter. She said yes’

Harpreet and Akshay confirmed their romance in August when they shared a loved-up snap together to mark three months of dating.

Earlier this year, Harpreet has discussed her burgeoning romance with show co-star Akshay.

She appeared on an episode of spin-off show The Apprentice: You’re Fired as the new season kicked off.

However, instead of chatting about the new batch of hopefuls, show host Tom Allen couldn’t help but quiz Harpreet about her relationship.

Judge Karren Brady told Tom he was being nosy as he quoted Rihanna, saying: ‘You literally found love in a hopeless place.’

Harpreet then joked: ‘I feel like you’re waiting for more juicy details, aren’t you?’ to which Tom said: ‘tell us everything’.

Harpreet insisted nothing ever went on between the pair during filming as they were both so focused on the competition.

She said: ‘There was literally absolutely nothing going on at the house. And I think just going through the process, coming out of it, we built a friendship and it kind of went from there.’

Akshay agreed, saying the pair barely interacted at all until after the show was finished.

He said: ‘Me and Harpreet barely spoke on the show because we never worked on the same team.

‘And even while the show aired, we hardly spoke. It was only after I was like, “let’s grab dinner”.’

Harpeet beat fellow finalist Kathryn Louise Burn, who runs an online pyjama business, to Lord Sugar’s investment with her dessert brand Oh So Yum.

She still runs her kiosk, as well as managing a dessert parlour in Yorkshire, and since winning the show has already hit her first target in launching a delivery wide service, so customers up and down the country can enjoy her sweet treats.
