Raphael Bjayou (born 8 June 1980) is a British entrepreneur and television presenter who was fired in week 9 during series four of The Apprentice (UK).
[citation needed] After graduating from University, Bjayou spent some time in Ethiopia engaged in work for the charity, The Addis Ababa Irrigation Project.
After returning to the UK, he immediately set to work establishing his own import and export company distributing, at first, magazines from the US and then furniture from the Far East.
[2] Bjayou struggled in the first episode of the series, getting called back to the boardroom after misidentifying some fish, but he led his team to victory in the next task and soon became one of the favourites to win.
He became popular for his distinctive dapper appearance, mannerisms, and sayings such as "The spoken word is my tool",[3] as well as his defence of Sara Dhada when other candidates in the house ganged up on her.
