Tim Campbell is now governor of the school he got 'kicked out of'
The 'Apprentice' star - who is one of Lord Alan Sugar's aides on the BBC business show, after winning the first series in 2005 - has called for kids to be taught more about how to manage money when they are at school.
Tim - who became chair of the governing body of St Bonaventure's Catholic School in 2013 - said: "Financial literacy in school is so important. Knowing how to manage a budget, or as my mum talked about, making ends meet. Those things should be taught in school.
"I don't want to put undue pressure on teachers, because I love teachers.
"I'm now a governor of my old school, the one they kicked me out of. It's a long story, we won't get into that one."
Tim - who will step in for Claude Littner on tonight's (12.01.23) 'Apprentice' - insisted businesses should be going into schools to teach kids the "understanding of how to manage money", and he believes there has never been a better time for youngsters to start a business because of the technology around nowadays.
Speaking on 'Lorraine', he added: "But essentially, teachers need support from businesses. Businesses should go in and teach the understanding of how to manage money.
"We've got a big campaign and we want to go and help as many young people understand money and how it works.
"Look at with the cost of living crisis at the moment, it's even more important that we watch those pennies, because we have to make them stretch. It's going to be difficult.
"I spend a huge amount of time, with young people in particularly, educating them how they can take idea or talent they have and converting that into a business idea. It's so important.
"People should think, 'What do you spend most time doing? What gives you the most enjoyment? And what problem are you solving? If you think about those three things you have the potential to start a business. With the technology now you could create a business overnight that potentially speaks to billions of people. That's a huge opportunity."
