The Apprentice 2024 star is huge noughties garage star with glam wife – and loads of famous friends
APPRENTICE star Tre Lowe can safely say he’s not going on the BBC business show to reach global fame.
The musician, who is one half of 00s garage music act Architects, best known for their hit Body Groove, already has a host of A-list friends to boast on social media.
And he’s living a glamorous life – with flash cars, designer clothes and a model wife to prove he doesn’t need Sir Alan Sugar for success.
Tre Lowe, who has signed up for the next series of BBC One competition The Apprentice, can be seen posing with Hollywood actors, musicians, and reality TV stars online.
His Instagram alone sees Tre smiling with actress Emma Thompson, Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu and singer Corinne Bailey Rae.
Other snaps see Tre looking worse for wear alongside television host Jonathan Ross, and saying cheers over a drink with Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon.
Elsewhere, he smiled for a photo with model Emily Ratajkowksi, before cosying up to rap star Big Narstie, and singers CeeLo Green and Paloma Faith.
He’s met other television royalty like The Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar, smiling with music mogul Simon Cowell at a Barbados beach party in 2014.
And the musician has even starred in an episode of Celebs Go Dating on E4, supporting friend and television host Sarah-Jane Crawford as she met a mystery man – with other appearances on 5 News and ITV News.
It’s all part of Tre’s career as one half of Architects, who rose to fame in 1998 for their remix of Brandy and Monica hit The Boy Is Mine, and working with artists like all Saints, Faithless and Jamelia.
While Ashley Akabah, Tre’s older brother, passed away in 2020 – the musician has continued the act solo, performing the band’s big hit on The Big Breakfast in 2022.
He stepped back from music to start his own wellness business, as well as wed fellow entrepreneur Enas Daeki, behind business community project GlobalWomanClub.
Tre is one of 18 hopefuls hoping to win over Sir Alan Sugar and get a £250,000 investment pumped into his business – focused on wellness and music.
He said ahead of the show, which starts on February 1: “Having watched all the series, I know that I am different from most people that have been on the show, being slightly older, from a creative background and with internationally successful music but I have proven success.
“People think I am a cool dude. But underneath all of that, I am a super-geek.
“One of my dreams as a child was to be in those big red Britannica Encyclopaedia volumes, alongside the likes of Galileo, Newton, and Tesla. Total super nerd. Still cool though.”
The Apprentice airs on BBC One from February 1
