Siobhan Smith has been fired from ‘The Apprentice’.
The 34-year-old wedding planner has become the fourth contestant to get the boot from the business show – and miss out on Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment – after she failed to impress in tonight’s (25.10.17) episode when his team lost the events task.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Siobhan said: "I’m obviously upset that I went and I didn’t get to go further but I think I performed well … I will still continue with my business and trying to break into Chinese weddings. I don’t need Lord Sugar’s money."
Siobhan – who was the Project Manager – found herself in the boardroom alongside the Subteam Leader Elizabeth McKenna and Joanna Jarjue fighting for her place in the competition after his team Graphene – made up of women – failed to impress their guests with their VIP Hospitality Box at Wembley Football Stadium.
The girls managed to pull in a measly profit of £984.36 – £352.80 on the candy floss stall and £631.56 in the hospitality box – while Vitality pulled in £1215.70 in total.
Speaking in the boardroom, Lord Sugar said: "I’m not going to listen to any more of this; I think we’ve flogged this to death.
"I’m going to summarise how I see this situation at the moment. Siobhan, there were fundamental errors made that an events manager would not make.
"Having said that, Elizabeth, I can’t believe that you just put the phone down, and you said: ‘I’ve got no clue what that conversation was about.’ You should have got back on and said "Look I need some costs, I need some understanding.
"And as far as you’re concerned Joanna, you are very, very argumentative. I haven’t seen you compliment anyone on doing anything … Everybody’s wrong, that one’s not telling the truth, or that one here is not telling the truth.’ You’re a difficult person.
"But Elizabeth I do feel that the failure of this task was down to the promises made to the client, and on that basis Elizabeth, you know, you’ve made life very difficult for me. Having said all that, Siobhan, not having a strategy, when this is your area of expertise; over-ordering is really a crime as far as I’m concerned. On that basis Siobhan, I regret to say that you’re fired."
