Reports this week suggest that Amy, who was fired from the show last month, has been banned after voicing her opinions about things Lord Sugar said about her on social media. One of his tweets read: "Amy didn’t sell she was so slow. Slower than broadband Wi-Fi in Cornwall."
A source close to Amy 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."
