Since then he has built a leading Harley Street cosmetic dentistry practice, with clientele ranging from Hollywood A-Listers to Grammy Award winning musicians. He recently released an oral healthcare product line that includes a premium teeth-whitening kit.

He’s is up against 17 other contestants competing for a huge £250,000 investment and the chance to be mentored by business tycoon Lord Sugar. The first episode from the 2025 series airs on the BBC, on Thursday 30th January at 9pm.
