The sister of businessman and former Apprentice contestant Stuart Baggs has paid tribute to him on Facebook.

In the post, Charlotte Baggs wrote: "Today my dearest brother Stuart Baggs gained his wings. To say we are all shocked and devastated is an understatement."

“Love him or hate him, he touched many people's lives from his TV antics to his amazing work with Bluewave Communications. He was the biggest character and will leave the biggest hole behind."

“Can't explain how proud I am of him. He was the king of following his dreams and making them happen.”
