Entrepreneur Sir Alan Sugar has donated a £7,500 damages payout from the Sunday Times to Refuge, after the newspaper implied that the Apprentice star treats women badly.

In a tweet, Sugar said: “Sunday times have coughed up £7.5k.Which I’ll donate to Refuge bearing in mind the thrust of the offending article”.

This came after the Sunday Times posted an apology in the newspaper, correcting the offending sentiment “even Lord Sugar doesn’t treat women as badly as this”.
