The Apprentice star Ryan-Mark Parsons has reignited his feud with Lottie Lion by sharing their private messages after she told her followers she wouldn't charge for signed photographs.
The reality stars are back at each other’s throats after Lottie seemingly made a dig at her former TV colleague on her Instagram page when Ryan-Mark revealed he was flogging personalised video messages and autographed photos costing £10 to £15.
Lottie’s followers asked whether she would do the same and she said she would “never charge my followers who support me for something as simple and cheap”.
Lottie - who clashed with several candidates during her time on the show - said: “I think it is sad to profit off those who encourage you on a daily basis.
“If you have asked me for a video or photo, know that you have been placed in a list and every week I pick three people at random and then send them out.”
She added: “Let us remind ourselves that ‘candidates’ on The Apprentice are supposed to be business people, not earning money from those who watch it.”
But Ryan-Mark has hit back by posting screen grabs aimed at suggesting otherwise.
The screenshots show a dialogue where the couple appear to be sharing a joke about how she used to charge for signed photos.
The messages say: “I used to charge for them and now look what you have done!
“I got £20 per signed photo, and I look like a b*tch!”
They were rounded off with crying with laughter emojis.
It’s not the first time the pair have publicly fallen out - they rowed on Twitter earlier this month after Lottie retweeted a negative post about Ryan-Mark.
The post, written by former The Apprentice winner Mark E Wright, was prompted after a tabloid newspaper papped him eating a McDonald’s with a knife and fork.
He said: “This is the most cringe thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life… could you scream ‘I just went on the telly to be famous’ any louder. Poor form. These people give the real Apprentice candidates a bad name. I mean the ones that actually run businesses!”
