Apprentice star shares how Alan Sugar and Karren Brady act off-camera
One of the latest Apprentice candidate to be fired says there's no chance for friendly chats off camera with Lord Alan Sugar and Baroness Karren Brady.
Hair salon owner Dani Donovan, 25, made it through to the gruelling interview stage of The Apprentice, but she, Victoria Goulbourne and Megan Hornby were given the chop in the penultimate episode.
Now Rochelle Anthony and Marnie Swindells are left to battle it out in next week's final, after Karren, Claude Littner, Mike Soutar and Linda Plant grilled the candidates on their business plans.
It's all business when the cameras roll, and it seems to be all business when they're not rolling either, according to Dani.
