The Apprentice contestant Amy Anzel has detailed her suspicions that “ageism” was to blame for her firing from the hit BBC business show in the sixth week.
The entrepreneur hopeful is the show’s oldest ever contestant at 48, something which she thought would give her an edge in being more “measured and level-headed” than her competitors.
Yet when finalist Kathryn Burn’s team lost in week six, she brought Aaron Willis and Amy back into the boardroom, where Amy was ultimately fired by Lord Alan Sugar for failing to step into the position of Project Manager for the sixth week running.
