Scots Apprentice star Reece Donnelly narrowly avoided being fired from the boardroom after a disastrous challenge as project manager.
The Scots theatre school boss decided to lead the team this week as he said he had experience working with children at his school.
Last night's episode saw the candidates create a pre-school cartoon character to celebrate the BBC's centenary and Reece's team ran out of time and their characters, Faye and Femi, were left without hands or feet.
The concept of their cartoon Faye was in a wheelchair, who was upset because they couldn't play on a slide in a playground. The character told another child in the playground that they 'can't get up there'.
Reece's team didn't win the challenge, mainly for not including hands and feet on Faye and Femi, and parents involved in the market research said it put them off.
Tim Campbell MBE, who followed the team on their task, said that the characters' missing features were a 'major contribution to this task failing'.
Lord Sugar told Reece to bring back two other candidates and he opted for Denisha Kaur Bharj and Gregory Ebbs.
The business tycoon told the Scots hopeful that his cartoon was 'really pathetic' and it seemed like it was all over for Reece, but it was Gregory Ebbs who was fired, after saying the task was not his 'forte'.
After the episode, Reece took to Instagram to say he is 'still sweating' from the boardroom.
He wrote: "Well that was a close one, I’m still sweating from that boardroom! What a mad one we had this week, the pressures of being project manager and fighting my case in the boardroom - I think I’ll stick to teaching the voices and accents next week. What did you think of the episode? I’ll see you next week in Brighton!"
And his followers who tuned in flocked to the comments.
One wrote: "Go on Reece can’t wait for next week already!!!"
While one said: "Brilliant Reece. Class A director!!"
Another commented: "Oooh that was tense! Well done Reece."
The Apprentice continues on Thursday on BBC One at 9pm.
