Contestant Amy Anzel has reportedly been banned from attending the final celebration ceremony of The Apprentice - after she voiced her feelings on Lord Alan Sugar's social media comments regarding her.
Friends of the 48-year-old have said that Amy was shocked by the firing during week six, after putting herself forward for a project manager role four weeks prior - which has allegedly been edited out, reports The Mirror.
Pals in-turn also claim that Amy was upset further by negative Tweets that Lord Sugar posted about her, with further reports that she brought them to the attention of production bosses at Naked TV, which makes The Apprentice with the BBC.

However, her friend claimed that the Zoom call she had with production left her feeling "humiliated".
Among the tweets Lord Sugar posted about Amy included: "Amy didn’t sell she was so slow. Slower than broadband Wi-Fi in Cornwall.”
The pal told The Sun : "When Lord Sugar posted his tweets, she thought they were nasty, hurtful and insulting and told them so in an email.
"She knew the final taping was happening last Wednesday but they ignored her phone calls and emails again. Then Amy got an email saying that invitations were issued at their discretion."
Others also absent from the final You're Fired also include Harry Mahmood, 38, and Navid Sole, 27, following a reported row between themselves and Aaron Willis, 38.
Harry, Navid and Amy are all believed to be appearing in the final episode to help finalists Kathryn Burn, 29, and Harpreet Kaur, 30, battle it out in the final.
The pair will attempt to prove that their individual business plans are worthy of Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment and subsequently join The Apprentice hall of fame and become the 17th winner.
*The Apprentice final airs Thursday at 9pm on BBC One
