GORDON Brown can rest easy, the Apprentice's Michelle Dewberry has ruled herself out of the running for the job as PM.

The 27-year-old former check out girl from Hull was in Swindon last night to talk about The Apprentice, her new book and life in general.

And from the sounds of it there was nowhere else she would rather be than the Arts Centre in Devizes Road.

"I'm happy, I'm in a nice place," she said. "I'm in Swindon. I like Swindon, I do. I mean it, I really do."

Michelle, who won the second series of The Apprentice but packed in working for Alan Sugar after six months, has a book out.

Anything is Possible is her autobiography and it's a book that when it gets mentioned you invariably hear words like inspirational' or remarkable journey'.

In fact her journey has taken her from Hull to London but there's a bit more to it than that.

Beaten by her father and told she was thick at school, Michelle has risen above all that to win a reality television show.

From the moment she came on stage last night - "I'm going to put my glasses on because I feel like I'm talking to myself" - she endeared herself to the crowd.

She spoke about her early childhood: "My childhood was spent not particularly well."

And her elder sister Fiona, a drug addict, who died at 19 after falling from an eighth floor window.

"I absolutely worshipped her," she said.

"I admired her and wanted to be like her. She was a big influence on my life and to this day she is."

As a youngster she didn't enjoy school: "Why do I want to know about the Battle of Hastings? What's that got to do with me?"

But by the age of 24 she was running her own telecoms business and gave up an income of £100,000 a year to compete against 13 other contestants on the reality show.

But getting to meet Britain's top entrepreneur' wasn't what she expected.

"I thought Jesus Christ I'm going to work with Richard Branson," she said.

Of the programme she said: "You enter into the devil's den because you can't go on to a reality television show and expect to be portrayed as you.

"You're going to be portrayed as a character that ticks a box on an editor's list."

As for her current ambitions, she is aiming high.

"My biggest passion - and this is what I will achieve - is I want school children to be given opportunities.

"I want to show children that there's a big bad world, it doesn't matter what you're mum or dad do to you, there are opportunities."

But despite recent appearances on the Daily Politics Show and This Week she has no plans to enter the world of politics.

"I don't understand about politics," she said. "That's not because I'm thick, it's because it's not an area I have chosen to invest my time in."

As for her book she said: "Don't judge it by the cover because I look like Joanna Lumley on the cover."
