SO THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED ASSET STRIPPING!

WHO knows what Roy and Anona Hopkins expected to happen when their daughter Katie became one of Sir Alan Sugar's potential apprentices? There is, of course, the small matter of a £100,000-a-year job should she go on to win the series. At the very least, the boost to her profile would do no harm to her CV. It is a fair bet, however, that they didn't bank on Katie becoming a national hate figure through her Machiavellian wrangling on the hit TV show. Nor would they have anticipated their impeccably brought-up middle-class daughter hitting the headlines for wrecking three -- yes, three -- marriages. Spare a thought, then, for the retired electrical engineer and his respectable wife who opened a newspaper this week to be confronted by images of their naked daughter straddling a married man in a public field.
