A star of BBC show The Apprentice says she left Lord Alan Sugar's advisor Karren Brady in tears and unable to film in a moment cut from show. Megan Hornby, who has reached the interviews process among five women to head for the last rounds of the series, says she left Karren sobbing.
The Apprentice star and Simba Rwambiwa made Karren cry when they were forced to act as prison officers during an immersive experience task. BirminghamLive reports that Karren found her and Simba's actions so funny that she had tears running down her face.
Megan said: "The immersive experience, hands down was my favourite day and I think Simba would say the same thing. I can’t even tell you how much fun we had doing it, we had Karren Brady in stitches, crying with laughter. "She couldn’t even film because she was laughing so much. Honestly, one of the best days of my life." It comes as Simba was voted off the show on Thursday evening.
Lord Sugar said: "Simba, if you don’t say anything worth listening to, then are you somebody who could qualify to be my business partner? They say every dog has its day and sadly, Simba, it’s nor your day. It is with regret, you’re fired!"
On Twitter, glitterfulspace wrote: "Clearly Lord Sugar just wanted an all-female final five again no way Simba should have been fired #TheApprentice." Katie added: "@Lord_Sugar You have got it wrong again #LordSugar. You sacked #Simba from #TheApprentice. He was the only mature, intelligent apprentice in the team of 3. He was unfairly treated tonight. Nobody could talk over the mouthy girl!"
Vox fumed: "#TheApprentice Simba DID NOT DESERVE TO BE sacked! Project Manager, Megan, was incompetent, giving a confused brief & then creating an inedible dog food. Dani was hopeless! Useless at marketing but would not listen to anyone other than her own mouth! Every guy has been sacked now!"
The Apprentice continues on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
