Karren Brady posted glamorous behind-the-scenes Instagram snaps from her time filming The Apprentice on Thursday.
The businesswoman, 56, ditched the filters and showed off her filter-free complexion during the fifth episode.
Fans have been pointing out some differences in Karren’s onscreen and offscreen appearance.
Viewers have claimed she looked like ‘a completely different person’, with some accusing her of editing her photos.
They wrote: ‘Karen you look amazing but – Doesn’t look like this on tv’; ‘The AI is strong with this one’; ‘Filters, filters, filters’; ‘You don’t look like you?’
‘You look stunning, Karren. But I found this image of you looks fake to me, not that I’m saying it couldn’t be you’; ‘Why does she edit her photos… no way she looks like that on tv!’
‘Oh my God, I cannot believe this is Karen Brady. She looks like a completely different person. Amazing but like a completely different person wow just wow’; ‘Airbrush!’
Others praised the star’s appearance, writing: ‘An absolute stunner. Full stop, always has been ❤️’; ‘Looking amazing as always’; ‘I must say your looking great KB an inspiration for a modern day woman.’
Candidates were tasked with creating bouquets of flowers to sell at a market for profit.
She opted for a chic beige trouser suit as Lord Sugar made an appearance in his boardroom.
Karren has openly revealed the secret to how she gets her Instagram snaps looking so flawless by sharing the team of celebrity hair stylists and makeup artists she has on hand to make her look and feel her best.
In all her recent behind-the-scenes snaps she’s tagged her celebrity makeup stylist Mikey – who has painted the faces of Rebekah Vardy, Alison Hammond and Olivia Attwood.
Karren has also addressed the speculation surrounding her newly slimmed-down figure, after being hit by accusations that it was the result of weight loss medications.
She denied using the jabs and insisted her body transformation was achieved the old-fashioned way, through a controlled diet and regular exercise.
Speaking to The Sun about her weight loss, she claimed that asking questions about how she’d shed the pounds was an effort to ‘belittle’ her or ‘make her feel insecure’.
‘I’m not on Ozempic, but questions about women’s weight come up far more often than they should,’ she said. ‘I’d much prefer the conversation to be focused around my work.’
Karren went on: ‘Anyone can do anything they want to their own body. I have no problem with it at all. But people think they know something they don’t know, or they just presume.
‘And so what if I was? And what if I wasn’t? It would be my choice. I think the way people talk about women’s bodies is certainly an effort to belittle them or make them feel insecure.
‘I’ve been called too fat, too thin and everything in between. I’ve had a lifetime of it. All I want is to feel strong, physically and mentally.’
She previously admitted to losing as much as five kilograms before every Apprentice launch, ‘so I look my normal weight and I don’t look huge next to Alan [Sugar] as he’s so fit and healthy’.
But Karren, who is the vice chairman of West Ham United, says Lord Sugar has been something of a health kick buddy.
‘He is great, he is very fit. He and my husband cycle when we go away on holiday. He is super fit himself, so if anyone is giving tips, it is him to me.
‘We went around Italy, which was lovely, on Lord Sugar’s boat. It was incredible. He is really lovely and has a wonderful family.’
A regular gym-goer, the mother of two insists she’s worked hard to incorporate frequent exercise into her hectic lifestyle.
‘You have to find the time to go, particularly as you get older,’ she said. ‘I have a very set routine that I do, but it’s mainly cardiovascular and weights, and I don’t mind the odd swim.
‘I go three or four times a week. I never have set days, because I’ve got a full-time job, then I have to go to the House of Lords often to vote, so I fit it in where I can.’
The businesswoman recently revealed that her weight loss was triggered by becoming a grandmother, after her daughter, Sophia Peschisolido welcomed sons, Leo, 22 months, and George, four months.
Karren said: ‘I have been on a health kick, I became a grandma, and I wanted to be a fit, healthy grandma, so I started eating healthy and exercising.
‘I haven’t joined [the Ozempic Club] – bloody hard work. It is okay losing it, it is keeping it off.
‘I have lost quite a bit – I don’t know, though, as I don’t weigh myself. I feel better for it. It is good because everything you put on fits.’
