Lemon juice for shiny hair, egg whites for sparkling skin - and vinegar for freshening up in the evening.
At least that's according to Apprentice contestant Steven Ugoalah, apparently - he reportedly washes his face and feet with white wine vinegar every night.
Fellow candidate Robert Goodwin, who was eliminated from last night’s show, told Digital Spy
“I was sharing a room with him and he would wash his feet and face with vinegar every night. Which actually stank out the room every night,” he said.
“When I confronted him about why he did it, he said, 'When you grow up, you learn to live with people's habits'.”
He added: “I really don't know [why he did it]. I wish I knew. Maybe it's a new thing that will take the world by storm. I wish I could enlighten you.”
Goodwin also said that he found Ugoalah “awkward” in both a professional and personal capacity.
