Apprentice star Reece Donnelly's brother serving life in prison for violent murder outside Glasgow tower block
06.01.2023 - 04:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The brother of the Scots star on The Apprentice is serving a life sentence for a cocaine-fuelled knife murder.
High-flying drama school boss Reece Donnelly, 25, was unveiled as a candidate on the hit BBC show last night. But the Record can reveal that his brother Nico was jailed in 2016 for brutally stabbing Jamie Johnstone, 21, to death in Sandyhills, Glasgow.
And the 29-year-old has had extra time put on his sentence for violent behaviour inside. Reece, from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, told the Record last night of his “heartfelt condolences” to murder victim Jamie’s family.
He claimed he didn’t know his brother despite their four-year age gap. Reece said: “I do not know this family member in question. I was only recently made aware of this news. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families affected.”
A family friend said: “Reece has worked hard to build up his business but had to start it up at a bad time – just as Nico was being put away for life. It was an awful time for his family as they didn’t do anything wrong but had to endure a lot of pain because of crimes committed by Nico.
“The two of them were never close and as they grew older their lives were poles apart.”
The friend added: “Reece wants to think about the future and is concentrating on The Apprentice. He will be up against a lot of high-powered rivals, with many coming from far more privileged backgrounds than him.
“But he is already a seasoned businessman and has great confidence in himself. He thinks he has a good chance of winning and nobody should rule him out. Everybody in Cambuslang, and hopefully Scotland, will be rooting for him.”
Another friend said: “Nico was quite a popular boy at school and you would never have guessed he would have become so

‘Aftersun’ Star Paul Mescal On The Struggles And Anxiety Of Young Fatherhood & Co-Star Frankie Corio: “She‘s Wild”
Paul Mescal enters the north London cafe having trudged a short distance through the snow from his gym. Heads turn, but Mescal is oblivious. He shakes himself out of a hooded coat then nonchalantly removes a sweater to reveal a ribbed torso sheathed in a white T-shirt. More stares. The star of Aftersun, Scottish director Charlotte Wells’s tender visual poem about a father and daughter, takes a seat and rubs his tummy. In that moment it’s all too easy to compare him to Marlon Brando, with the tight-ish whitey shirt and all that.
