THE Apprentice hopeful Joe Phillips flaunted his Safari skills in tiny shorts.
The star is always seen sporting a suit on the BBC business show – but he switched his business attire for something more animal-friendly in a recent video.
In episode two of his social media Jungle Joe series, conservationist Joe taught his followers about a fascinating creature, the leopard tortoise.
Alongside the clip, he wrote: "Weighing up to 40kgs, the Leopard Tortoise is Africas largest tortoise!
"The Tortoises family is one of our planets oldest life forms. They’ve been around for over 200 million years – that’s longer than dinosaurs, birds, mammals and even crocodiles!
"What a privilege to see these ancient creatures still roaming the African plains!"

But despite Joe guiding fans through the clip as he examined a leopard tortoise's shell, it wasn't his knowledge catching the eye of viewers – it was his short shorts.
One fan wrote: "Where do you get all these short shorts 👀."
"You thought my shorts were short 😂" remarked another as they tagged a friend.
Another viewer compared the star to famous Australian zookeeper, Steve Irwin, writing: "You give me Steve Irwin vibes. I love watching your Jungle Joe features.

The star started his own business, Faliforna, a ocean-friendly cosmetics company during his second year of university.
On his website he explained: "I hope to raise awareness for the need to transition away from traditional cosmetics and towards a more sustainable future."
