American beauty business owner Amy Anzel continues to fight her way to be Lord Sugar's new business partner in the latest series of The Apprentice - and now she's opened up about what life is really like on the show.

This is not Amy's first time on TV as previously she has appeared on the American show The Bachelor in 2002, hoping to find a husband, the Manchester Evening News reports..
The New Yorker is hoping to win the £250,000 investment for her company Hollywood Browzer Beauty which creates beauty tools for hair removal and exfoliation.
Amy revealed that the tasks are filmed over two to three days and the candidate shoot two tasks per week, with one day off.
Talking about their day off, Amy said: "We would do laundry, get ready for a task and sometimes we would do workouts and watch a movie together. And we would get to speak to our loved ones."
The candidates also get told to leave any boardroom drama or fallings-out at the door of the house by the producers.
She said: "Producers give you a nice talk and they say 'leave it' and you have to. There is no point in holding on to grudges. You have to move on quickly."
While romance is strictly banned in the house Amy did say the show was just like real life and there are people that she feels closer to.
Talking about the sex ban she said: "They did say beforehand it's not allowed, don't even think about it. I can't imagine how you would have the time or energy."
While many Apprentice fans don't believe that the candidates do only have 20 minutes in the morning to get ready, Amy described what it was really like.
She said: "It's like that feeling before you have to get up for an early flight and you don't really sleep, it was that feeling every time. Then you hear production coming through the door."
Amy also described being in the boardroom as the "most nerve-wracking" part of the process and said that doing the tasks was "like a pressure cooker".
