BOLTON'S Ismail Seedat's hopes of being given a one million pound boost to his new Internet business were dashed yesterday when he failed to gain enough votes from television viewers.
As previously reported in the BEN, Ismail of Derby Street, Bolton, appeared on Channel Four's E-Millionaire Show on Friday night, pitching his idea for a new Internet website.
The 27-year-old law graduate gave a presentation for his idea, up4rent, and although not in the lead at the end of the show, was still in with a chance of winning through to the final.
Voting went out to the television viewers, and Ismail's idea failed to gain enough votes.
