THE Apprentice’s Amber-Rose Badrudin casts an admiring glance at fellow contestant Keir Shave in a spa — on the steamy trip where they were found together in a hotel room.
The pair can be seen relaxing in their white robes during the filming jaunt to Turkey.
The picture emerged after we revealed BBC bosses warned they were potentially breaking the show’s strict “no touching” rule.
The episode will be screened this Thursday, with the pair put in the same team as they are tasked with putting on a corporate away day.
Keir, 27, puts himself forward as project manager for the task and assigns 25-year-old Amber-Rose to preparing the meal for corporate clients.
The Sun on Sunday reported in December that she was spotted with a half-dressed male contestant through a window by a crew member.
She later wrote entrepreneur Keir, from Leeds, a love letter when he was on the brink of being fired by show boss Alan Sugar.
Amber-Rose, who runs an Asian food retail business in Croydon, South London, later revealed she had split from her business partner after a four-year relationship.

“He quickly scurried into the bathroom to avoid being spotted.”
An Apprentice source said “They maintain their relationship is platonic.
“They’ve only ever been focused on the show.”
A spokesman on behalf of The Apprentice said: “It would be entirely false to claim Amber-Rose and Keir were found to be having a physical relationship or engaging in anything physical during the filming process. Both Amber-Rose and Keir maintain their relationship is platonic.”
