Earlier this year, Harpreet discussed her burgeoning romance with show co-star Akshay.
She appeared on an episode of spin-off show The Apprentice: You’re Fired as the new season kicked off.
However, instead of chatting about the new batch of hopefuls, show host Tom Allen couldn’t help but quiz Harpreet about her relationship.
Judge Karren Brady told Tom he was being nosy as he quoted Rihanna, saying: ‘You literally found love in a hopeless place.’
Harpreet then joked: ‘I feel like you’re waiting for more juicy details, aren’t you?’ to which Tom said: ‘tell us everything’.
Harpreet insisted nothing ever went on between the pair during filming as they were both so focused on the competition.
She said: ‘There was literally absolutely nothing going on at the house. And I think just going through the process, coming out of it, we built a friendship and it kind of went from there.’
Akshay agreed, saying the pair barely interacted at all until after the show was finished.
He said: ‘Me and Harpreet barely spoke on the show because we never worked on the same team.
‘And even while the show aired, we hardly spoke. It was only after I was like, “let’s grab dinner”.’
Harpeet beat fellow finalist Kathryn Louise Burn, who runs an online pyjama business, to Lord Sugar’s investment with her dessert brand Oh So Yum.

She still runs her kiosk, as well as managing a dessert parlour in Yorkshire, and since winning the show has already hit her first target in launching a delivery wide service, so customers up and down the country can enjoy her sweet treats.
Harpreet revealed her sister will remain a shareholder in their dessert parlour business.
Harpreet told MailOnline her sister Gurvinder, 33, not only remains a director but still owns her stake in the company.
In an exclusive interview, Harpreet insisted that Apprentice boss Lord Sugar had ‘no problem’ with her business of five years being jointly run by a member of her family and BBC producers built up the tension as ‘a bit of fun TV editing.’
