Natasha Scribbins was fired tonight after finishing on the losing team in a task to open a fast food restaurant.

Her exit meant she missed out on making the final of the show by one week.

Scribbins said her former role as a construction recruitment consultant meant she could come across as aggressive.

She said: “I think taking into consideration the business environment that I work within, construction and property recruitment, it’s quite an aggressive environment in terms of, you’re selling a service, it’s very fast paced, and construction and property is a very male-dominated environment,”

Scribbins is the second construction recruitment specialist to be fired by Lord Sugar this season.

Ellie Reed, founder of Shipley based A&E Construction, was shown the door in the first few weeks of the series.
