The Apprentice 2016: Lord Sugar fires another candidate after ‘worst result EVER’
LORD SUGAR ditched another candidate on The Apprentice tonight after a catastrophic task result.
Who was fired this week?
The two teams were instructed to concoct an advertising campaign for jeans, but neither did a passable job.
In the end, the efforts were so appalling that neither team won - and BOTH Project Managers had to select two candidates each to bring back to the final boardroom.
It was Natalie Hughes who was ultimately fired, although several others had near misses.
She had been dragged into the boardroom by Jessica alongside Alana, whilst Mukai had brought back JD and Karthik.

Both teams really struggled in the challenge
“Jessica, you shouldn’t have been the project manager," Lord Sugar said. "And Alana, I see you struggling there.
"The one that I am finding very difficult to come to grips with is you Natalie. Someone who, as I’ve understood, from the last two weeks has not done much.
"JD, do you know what, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, OK, you’re staying in the process.
"But you, Mukai, I think there’s some fatal errors that you made in this task to be perfectly frank with you. [And] I’ve got to say, Karthik, you are a loose cannon and I can’t put up with loose cannons and for that reason I’m struggling."
Karren Brady had to step in when Jessica lost her cool
He concluded: "But for a potential business partner of mine, Natalie, you’ve been a bit quiet, you’ve not been pushing yourself forward.
"It is regretful that this is only the second week but Natalie, you’re fired.”
The Apprentice continues next Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
