Apprentice star James lands TV job

'The Apprentice' star James McQuillan has reportedly landed a job with Channel 4 Racing.

According to The Sun, the 32-year-old, who failed to land the job as Alan Sugar's apprentice on the latest series of the show, is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his hero pundit John McCririck.

McQuillan said: "I'm doing some screen tests now but the plan is to have a regular slot on a racing show."
