London-based Dr Totton, who is also an ex-model, was the bookies’ favourite to win from the start of the series.
Earlier this year the Sentinel told how her business was expanding and even before it emerged she was to appear on The Apprentice, it quickly became one of our most popular web stories.
Dr Leah set up a medical aesthetics company after completing training at Harley Street in London and her clinics in England have been so successful that she flies home twice a month to hold clinics across Northern Ireland. And her base here is expected to be expanded later this year.
