00:00 Hey there, Conor Gormley here. I'm a trainee reporter for Sussex World and this is our daily news bulletin
00:06 where I talk you through all the biggest stories in both East and West Sussex today.
00:11 A pie maker from Bognor Regis is set to appear on this year's season of The Apprentice.
00:16 Philip Turner, who runs the award-winning bakery Turner's Pies in both Bognor Regis and Chichester,
00:21 is hoping that his tried and tested business acumen will be enough to impress the notoriously tough Alan Sugar in this year's season.
00:28 It will air on BBC One on February 1st at 9pm and I believe the first episode is based in the Scottish Highlands.
00:35 It should make for really good viewing and here's hoping the local boy takes it home.
00:39 But the 5.9 acre Northwood College Broadwater campus site in Worthing is up for sale
00:45 and property consultants say it has plenty of developmental potential.
00:49 Owners Chichester College Group are selling the site in order to facilitate investment in existing sites
00:54 with Northbrook College courses moving to other college locations in the Worthing area
00:59 once Northbrook itself ceases to operate as a college next year.
01:03 A major hospital which serves patients in Surrey, Horsham and Crawley has shut three wards after a bug outbreak today.
01:09 East Surrey Hospital in Redhill has closed the wards to minimise the risk of further infection
01:14 following an outbreak of Norovirus which is a higher risk to staff and patients this time of year anyway
01:19 and it's also urging patients not to go to hospital if they're experiencing symptoms of the bug.
01:24 Sufferers usually start to feel better within three days and yeah, just steer clear if you can.
