The Apprentice star Amy Anzel on not being invited to celebration finale - she says she sought therapy after show left her feeling depressed

Amy Anzel has slammed her experience on the BBC's The Apprentice, saying she sought therapy after suffering from anxiety and depression after she was fired from the business competition.

The American entrepreneur was shown the door by Lord Alan Sugar in week six of the contest, which has seen 16 candidates battle it out to win £250,000-worth of investment from the business magnate. She claims she was left baffled after Lord Sugar took a dig at her not becoming a project manager during her time on the show, despite being sub team leader in four out of six tasks, and says she believes she didn't get a fair chance.

Lord Sugar referenced how New Yorker Amy had lived in Los Angeles and asked her if she was an 'LA Dodger'. He sniped: "You dodged the project management side of things, you've been here six weeks to show that you can do something, and you haven't shown me you can do something. And so it is with regret that you're fired. Thank you."
