Donegal businesswoman Aoibheann Walsh has been fired from the hit BBC television show The Apprentice.
The Kerrykeel woman was last night given the boot by Lord Alan Sugar in just the second week of the show.
The beauty salon owner was shown the door after contestants were challenged to create a virtual holographic pop star and record a song and music video.
Sugar said he had not “heard much” from her so far.
Walsh was hoping to win a €250,000 investment in her beauty belt idea by the British tycoon.
But instead she was shown the door before TV viewers.
In last night’s episode, Amber-Rose Badrudin headed one team and chose to create a rap duo called Fred and Nadz, while the other team led by Anisa Khan, who previously led her team to defeat in the last episode, decided to create a female pop singer called Bami.
The sacking decision was between salon firm owner Nadia Suliaman, team leader Badrudin and Walsh, with Lord Sugar and his advisers Baroness Brady and Tim Campbell eventually deciding to fire Walsh.
At the end of the episode, Lord Sugar said in the boardroom: “On balance, Aoibheann, I don’t think in the last two tasks I’ve actually heard much from you or seen you do much. So, I’m sorry to say, Aoibheann, you’re fired.”
In the taxi afterwards, Co Donegal-based Walsh said: “I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t really get the opportunity to shine.
“I do wish I did speak out a little more and if I did, I probably wouldn’t be sitting here right now.”
