Tributes pour in for Stuart Baggs

Friday, 31 July 2015 00:00

Tributes have been paid to the local businessman Stuart Baggs who was found dead at his home yesterday morning.

Lord Alan Sugar led the messages of condolence on Twitter saying it was "terrible news" and adding he had been one of the "stand out characters" of his hit TV show The Apprentice.

Aged just 21 Baggs was the youngest ever contestant to appear on the programme, coining a number of memorable catchphrases in the process.

His death has made national news with many former Apprentice contestants paying tribute to him.

Earlier this week the 27-year-old launched a new 4G service on the Island in his role as managing director of BlueWave Communications.
