I was inconsolable after Lord Sugar sacked me on The Apprentice – I cried all night, reveals axed candidate
A SACKED candidate on The Apprentice has revealed she ‘cried for days’ after being axed by Lord Sugar.
Viewers watched tonight as the remaining hopefuls were split into two teams for this week’s fashion challenge.
They were tasked with creating a sustainable fashion label and had to debut their brand during a fashion show with potential buyers.
However, for animator Jordan Dargan‘s team, they were left red-faced in front of Lord Sugar after failing.
It resulted in Liam Snellin, Mia Collins and Anisa Khan in the boardroom fighting for their place.
In a shock double elimination, Lord Sugar axed Mia and Liam from the show.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun following her sacking, Mia revealed she ‘cried for days’.
The meal prep entrepreneur said: “Because I live in London I went straight home, the cab brings you home. I went home.
“You have a debrief and decompression dinner with one of the house team and I just cried, for hours and days.”
Mia added: “I was really disappointed.”
The Apprentice fans had tipped Mia for the win, and she said the support has left her feeling like she’s let people down.
She explained: “It’s so touching to know that you’re championing for you. A little part of me feels like I’ve let people down, weirdly.
“Because of how much they wanted me to win or to be final two or five or whatever it was. To get the chance to show them.
“It’s really touching knowing that you’ve got people that you don’t know cheering for you at home.”
This week’s elimination means, Dean Franklin, Amber-Rose Badrudin, Jordan Dargan, Chisola Chitambala and Anisa Khan are this year’s final five.
The Apprentice airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
The Apprentice biggest moments
THE Apprentice has been a fan favourite ever since it burst onto the box in 2005.
Here we take a look at five of the biggest moments over the years on the hit BBC One show.
Tim Campbell – Former London Underground transport manager Tim Campbell won the first series of the reality show in 2005. He is now one of Lord Sugar’s aides on the show.
Sarah Lynn and James White – For the first and only time in the show’s history, both finalists were crowned winners in 2017.
Amy Anzel – Season 16’s fired candidate Amy Anzel was BANNED from the final celebration show, after a tit-for-tat exchange over Lord Sugar’s mocking tweets.
Michelle Dewberry – Telecoms consultant Michelle Dewberry won the second series of the show in 2006. However, after winning a six-figure job with Lord Sugar she lasted just four months before she sensationally quit.
Selena Waterman-Smith – We’re used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time – into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain.
