What happened to Saira Khan after delivering The Apprentice’s ‘peak moment’ during first ever episode

Saira Khan featured on the first ever series of The Apprentice in 2005

OG The Apprentice viewers will no doubt remember Saira Khan's iconic performance on the first ever series.

The TV personality finished as runner up on the business-reality show back in 2005.

But without a doubt the most iconic moment of Khan's highlight reel was her hilariously effective sales tekkers outside the flower shop.

When entrepreneurs enter the show they must compete in a series of business-related challenges set by Alan Sugar, to prove themselves worthy of a prize.

And all Khan had to do was sell flowers to the paying public. Take a look at the iconic scenes below:

So, what is the savvy businesswoman doing 19 years on?

When Khan's run on the show came to an end, she started to build her TV career and presented a show that taught us about anger management called Temper Your Temper in 2006.

She then went on to present a number of documentaries for the BBC before cementing herself as a Loose Women panellist from 2015 to 2020.

From 2012 until 2017, she also co-hosted The Martin Lewis Money Show alongside the Money Saving Expert and, in 2016, she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.

She became just the second housemate to be voted out.

By 2019, she owned five properties and revealed that she would expand on her investment portfolio.

“We bought our five-bedroom house in Oxford for £855,000 in 2009," she told the Daily Mail.

“It is now worth £1.6 million. We are planning to spend £300,000 on it early next year and add a two-storey extension because we want some extra space.

We also own a property in Chamonix, France, which is worth £300,000, and three properties in London which collectively are worth £2 million. They are all rented out.”

Her net worth is now reportedly around £3.7 million.

She has since embarked on multiple business ventures, including her own skincare line.

After leaving Loose Women, she said her aim was to 'focus on her skincare business, SairaSkin, and other media projects'.

Khan married her husband fellow business person Steven Hyde, in December 2004, and the pair have two children together, Zac and Amara.

Opening up on a possible return to The Apprentice ahead of the new series, Lord Sugar joked that Khan is 'too old' for the show.

Speaking to The Sun and other press, Alan said: "The problem is, is that you might find that if you go back 18 years, Saira Khan lost to Tim.

"Now, dare I say, and she'll hate me for this, that she'll be a bit too old now."
