Lord Alan Sugar has fired two candidates on the latest episode of 'The Apprentice'. The 77-year-old businessman was unimpressed by both teams during the task, which involved creating a hot sauce and an ad campaign, leading him to dismiss Melica Moshiri and Emma Street from the BBC show.
Following her early exit, Melica told MailOnline: 'Whether I was the right person to be fired ... I don't think Lord Sugar had a choice. He said to me in the boardroom that he was going with his gut instinct and might be making a big mistake. I actually liked that; I thought it was a real compliment.'
During the episode, Lord Sugar described Melica as 'disruptive', a label she accepted. She said: 'I find he generally likes people taking accountability for things ... I took accountability for me being disruptive.'
The corporate project manager remained upbeat about her long-term business plans, adding: 'It's been really good since the show. It would have been very handy to have a £250,000 investment, so I'm just seeing what I can get in the pipeline.'
