The father-of-one opened up about his experience on the show, eight years later.
Speaking to the Daily Star about the audition process, Joseph explained that potential contestants have to go through confusing exercises.
One of them was forcing them to line up in order from “best to worst”.
Joseph told the publication: “Yeah, so they asked you to line up in ‘most beautiful’ order and I had to fight a lady who was Miss Hong Kong or something.

“And I had to claim that I was better looking than her, but I just knew what game I had to play and I played it.”
Joseph understood that he had to stand out during the audition process, adding that some of the other applicants didn’t seem to understand.
He continued, “The others in the middle, I thought ‘you’re not doing it well,’ and I ended up getting a spot on the show, so it worked out.”
The businessman is not the first apprentice candidate to talk about this strange auditing task.
Fan favorite and 2019 contestant Thomas Skinner also said he participated in the same audition element.
He previously said: “Before you go on the show, you go through the interview stages and you have people from all over.
“From London, from Ireland, from Manchester, and you’re in this room and they told us to line up from ugliest to prettiest.”
Thomas even explained how he had just placed himself at the wrong end of the scale.
However, he too ended up landing a spot on the show and becoming very successful.
