We suppose being paid to go on dates to cover your university fees could be construed as quite enterprising, but we’re still shocked to hear that Apprentice star Michael Sophocles used to be a male escort! The 25-year-old was studying at Edinburgh University when he realised he could make up to £50 an hour as an escort. Blimey. A friend of Michael's said that he was an attractive guy at uni, adding “Women loved his boyish features. He went on lots of dates and was raking it in. Most were with older women – divorcees looking for a bit of fun.” And this isn’t just a dodgy rumour – a show spokesperson has confirmed that Michael did indeed work as an escort.
