Ex-Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry catches council worker on video as he confiscated homeless man's sleeping bag

A council worker has come under fire after footage of him confiscating a homeless man's sleeping bag was filmed by a former winner of the Apprentice. The shocking video was filmed by 2006 champion Michelle Dewberry, who chastises the worker for removing the items.

In the footage, she can be heard pleading with the man, who works for Lambeth Council, to not throw away the cardboard, sleeping bag and umbrella. But he refuses and drives away after admitting that he knows the possessions belong to a homeless man sleeping rough in the public park in south London. She shared the video on Twitter, adding that she was in shock after witnessing the removal.

The businesswoman posted: 'I'm sheltering from rain under canopy. Homeless man sleeps here. His cardboard, sleeping bag & umberella are here to stay dry

'Then this. @lambeth_council the guy said he works for you. His lorry was full of blankets & sleeping bags. This isn't ok. We shouldn't let this happen.'

In the video, the unknown council employee can be heard saying that the homeless man should have taken his belongings with him.

In response, Michelle says: 'What do you mean take it with him? Take it with him where?

'He's homeless. You can't take someone's sleeping bag, it's absolutely freezing cold, what are you doing?'

She adds: 'This is where somebody is sleeping and you know that. What are you doing?

'This is somebody who has absolutely nothing, who is trying to keep themselves warm and you know that don't you?'
