The businessman paid tribute on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning, sharing a picture of him.
“My brother Derek died today another victim of covid which complicated his underlying health problems,” Lord Sugar wrote.

On Twitter, Lord Sugar added that it was a “sad day for us all in the family”.
