The Apprentice finalists Luisa Zissman and Leah Totton soak up the sun as they enjoy beach holiday together

 No rivalry here! The Apprentice finalists Luisa Zissman and Leah Totton soak up the sun as they enjoy beach holiday together

They're going head-to-head in the eagerly-anticipated final of The Apprentice next week.
But despite being rivals in the business world, it seems that finalists Luisa Zissman and Leah Totton are best friends in their private lives.
The two businesswomen enjoyed a luxurious sun holiday to Thailand earlier in the year, proving that what happens in the boardroom, stays in the boardroom.

In a series of Facebook snaps obtained by The Sun, the two wannabe winners can be seen letting their hair down and relaxing in the sun after filming wrapped on the BBC1 show.
    Even though fur might fly in the tense final episode, it seems that 25-year-old cake entrepreneur Luisa and doctor Leah, 24, have established a firm friendship since appearing on the show.
    Pictured with another friend on the idyllic Thai island Ko Tao, the entrepreneurs seemed to be having a great holiday, clearly treating themselves after the stress of the series.

    In one snap the two finalists can be seen wearing full-length skirts and vest tops, posing next to each other with their hands on their hips.
    Another shows them sitting on the edge of a landscape pool with a friend as they dangle their toes in the water, looking completely relaxed.
    The fun-loving pair are also snapped on a night out as they hit the bar, both with something to celebrate after making it through the interview stages to the final.

    Both Luisa and Leah impressed during the dreaded penultimate stage of the competition, sharing their business plans with Sir Alan's most trusted advisers.
    Luisa told the panel that she wanted to launch a new baking brand with the £250,000 investment, while friend Leah explained her plan for a string of botox clinics.
    Karen Brady was particularly thrilled with the all-girl final and she said: 'I can’t tell you how pleased I am that your new business partner is going to be a woman.'

    And speaking about the finalists she said: 'A good entrepreneur spots a gap in the market that's Leah, or spots an emerging market and that's Leah.'
    The two finalists put on a show of solidarity again on Friday as they were spotted heading to the ITV studios to film an interview for Daybreak.
    Looking professional but stylish, Luisa wore a skintight turquoise dress while pal Leah went for a similar sky-blue number.
