The Apprentice star considered selling her business after Lord Sugar's comment
The Apprentice star Victoria Goulbourne admitted she thought about selling her business after Lord Alan Sugar made a snide comment about it.
Lord Sugar told the former flight attendant that was not sold on her idea and said to keep it as a 'hobby'.
She wasn't able to reach the final - where contestants get to become the 76-year-old's business partner and win a £250,000 investment from him.

Victoria reached the interview stage and later returned to the boardroom for the final.

Speaking about Lord Sugar's comments, Victoria explained: "Alan advised me in the episode to keep my business as a hobby, which I don’t know if he meant…
"But my business was not a hobby. It did give me a full-time wage for two years and I’m really grateful for that.
"I’m so proud that you know, I was able to build something that did give me a full-time job essentially for the last two years."
She went on to explain to The Express and other press that she had "thoughts on selling my business" after the process.

It comes after an official petition was created to replace Lord Sugar with Steven Bartlett on The Apprentice.
Amy Anzel, who Lord Sugar fired six weeks into last year's series of the series, said it's time for the famous entrepreneur "to make way for the next generation to take the reigns" after an 'AWFUL' offering from the show this year.
The businesswoman didn't hold back when sharing the petition online earlier this week, revealing Lord Sugar has blocked her on Twitter for commenting on her success compared to past winners of The Apprentice.

She shared a link to her Change.org petition and told her Twitter followers: "OFFICIAL PETITION FOR LORD SUGAR TO BE REPLACED BY STEVEN BARTLETT BEFORE THE APPRENTICE IS RUINED BEYOND REPAIR… #TheApprentice #LordSugar."
The description for the petition reads: "it’s time for Lord Sugar to make way for the next generation to take the reigns before The Apprentice is ran into the ground by a poor production team of people who have decided that the show should spend it’s time making a complete mockery of the candidates and being nothing but damaging to British entrepreneurship… at this point the show is verging on bullying it’s own candidates! GET LORD SUGAR OUT!"
