Andrew Brady, Anisa Topan and Charles Burns have been fired from ‘The Apprentice’.
Viewers have been used to seeing one candidate get the boot from the reality TV show every week since the series hit screens two months ago, but Lord Sugar took a cut-throat approach in tonight’s (22.11.17) episode as he axed three potential business partners from the competition following their poor performance in the doggy task.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Andrew said: "I’m feeling positive, feeling good. I’m feeling disappointed obviously, but it’s a relief when it happens."
Anisa added: "Obviously I am a little bit upset, not going to lie, but overall I’m just really relieved as well."
Charles explained: "It’s disappointing being two thirds of the way through the process, you could feel it’s almost in touching distance."
The trio found themselves in the boardroom after they made a measly £814.75 in the task, while winning team Graphene pulled in £1,277.92 and were subsequently sent off to a top-notch spa to get a 24-carat gold facial treatment.
Charles – who has rubbed people up the wrong way – agreed to be project management but things didn’t go his way and he was slammed for his lack of work.
Lord Sugar said: "Charles – nice enough fellow but, just like the dogs, you seem to lay around and do nothing. Charles, I’m looking for a business partner who leads. I don’t want a consultant telling me after the event why my investment has gone down the pan."
But he wasn’t the only one to take the insults as the 70-year-old magnate claimed Andrew was "immature" and he wasn’t ready for the competition.
He said: "Andrew, you come across to me as immature. The swearing, I don’t like that at all, I did warn you about it. You want my honest opinion, I think you are here maybe four or five years too early. I don’t think you are ready yet."
Viewers weren’t the only ones surprised by the triple firing as Lord Sugar’s aides Baroness Karren Brady and Claude Littner also looked stunned.
He told them: "I have to close my eyes and try to envisage these people in business with me, and in all three cases I couldn’t see it."
