The Apprentice stars Harpreet Kaur and Akshay Thakrar have confirmed they’re dating by posting a very sweet series of snaps on Instagram.
Harpreet, 30, became Lord Sugar’s latest business partner after her tasty dessert parlours won him over.
With the entrepreneur just about having got over the madness of her journey on the BBC One show, she’s now announced some more good news.
In a cute post on Friday night, she revealed she and co-star Akshay, 28, who was a fan-favourite candidate, are now in a relationship with each other.
She shared three photos of the pair together, with the caption: ‘The best things in life happen unexpectedly ❤️.
‘I love sharing my Oh So Yum business journey with you all but this time….it’s a personal one 🥰.

Harpreet continued: ’Since coming out of The Apprentice house, my life has been a complete whirlwind in more ways than one.
‘Over the past three months, a special someone has swept me unexpectedly off my feet & I cannot wait to see where this journey takes us ❤️ @akshay.thakrar.’

Fans of the entrepreneur, as well as other The Apprentice stars, quickly responded to the sweet update, with Amy Anzel writing: ‘Ah such lovely news! Congrats guys.’
Aaron Willis, who also appeared on this year’s series, commented: ‘Yes yes yes 👏🏾 what a great post to read. Congratulations guys.’

Harpreet’s fellow finalist Kathryn Burn, who has become firm friends with her former competitor, added: ‘My favourite couple ever 🥰♥️ so so happy for you both and can’t wait to share this journey with you 😂😂 love you both xxxxx.’
Akshay himself quickly acknowledged the news with a very sweet response: ‘So happy you’re mine. Excited for what’s to come!’
Despite failing to win most of the challenges during his seven-week-long stint on The Apprentice, Akshay won over viewers, and Lord Sugar, with his hilarious comments throughout the process.
We can’t wait to see their romance continue to blossom!
The Apprentice returns later this year to BBC One.
