Businessman James, 26, wasted no time in romancing solicitor Lauren, 28, during their time in The Apprentice house.
IS JAMES HILL THE BEST REASON TO WATCH THIS YEAR'S APPRENTICE?
“It didn't take [James] long to woo Lauren,” a source told The Sun.
The insider continued: “They had a fairly full-on fling. They were always sneaking off.”

James and Lauren certainly won’t be the first contestants to find love (or lust!) whilst appearing on the BBC reality show.
In last year’s series, contestant Jordon Poulton claimed he had an affair with fellow Apprentice star Luisa Zissman.
He said in an interview last year: “When I was with Luisa I spent a lot of time in cupboards — literally. It wasn't easy to have sex in the Apprentice house as there were minders living there trying to stop us.
“Our routine was I'd go off somewhere and she'd disappear too, and we'd muck around until someone came to find us. When people try to stop you having sex, the tension ramps up more.”
In 2007, Apprentice contestants claimed that candidate Katie Hopkins’ alleged relationship with Paul Callaghan was blamed for the failure of one of the show’s tasks. Katie denied bedding the former army lieutenant.
The 2009 series saw contestants Kate and Phil Walsh fall head-over-heels for each other, and they are reportedly still together.
