Multi-millionaire Sir Alan Sugar has light-heartedly played down reports he "cheated death" when his light aircraft crashed at an airfield.
The star of the BBC's The Apprentice TV series joked he had more chance of dying from food poisoning by a sandwich given to him after the incident at Barton Aerodrome near Manchester.
He walked away unharmed after his four-seater plane landed in a thunderstorm and went through the runway and hit a rut in the ground on Saturday.
Sir Alan, 61, stepped out of the cockpit with a male travelling companion and the plane was towed away by tractor to a hangar.
