These 21 memes prove Thomas is the best thing to happen to The Apprentice, ever

Since the beginning of The Apprentice 2019, one candidate has been shining through. Thomas Skinner. He’s the cheeky chappy, London salesman the show needs. He could honestly sell anyone anything.

He managed to get people to go on one of the worst safari tours in history, he sold horrific looking ice lollies to members of the public and he tried to convince John Lewis that a plastic turtle which sits on your hand and talks to you is more than just a toy. And that’s without mentioning his impeccable banter and absolutely classic cockney accent. What a guy.

Here are 21 memes that prove Thomas from The Apprentice is the best candidate to ever enter the show and should 100 per cent win.

1. He just really loved that turtle toy
