CHIRPY SALESMAN Lee McQueen has again survived the chop in the BBC reality show The Apprentice.

Mr McQueen, from Princes Risborough, breezed through the episode.

He was a key part of the winning team and has not yet faced the boardroom showdown with Sir Alan Sugar.

Speaking from the famous Wallace collection Sir Alan set the teams a task of photographing customers in the Bluewater large shopping centre.

A David Beckham look-a-like proved to be a massive crowd puller and attracted a lot of business for the Alpha team, which Mr McQueen was part of.

He revelled in being a photographer, chatting with enthusiasm to parents and their kids, but as in recent weeks kept a relatively low profile to steer clear of trouble.

Mr McQueen's team were clear winners making a profit of £145.

Team Renaissance, who went with a glamour theme, made a loss of £73.

Former military man Simon Smith, the losing project leader, got the boot in a tense finale.

Mr McQueen will be trying to prove his worth to the Amstrad tycoon again next week when the candidates are faced with an ice-cream making challenge.
