Read our privacy policy The latest candidate to be fired from The Apprentice has highlighted a hypocrisy with Lord Sugar’s decision. Despite two others also failing to notice the word had been spelt incorrectly, Lord Sugar held Francesca accountable for the incorrect spelling, eventually firing her. Recommended The Apprentice star Amy Anzel criticised for poking fun at homophobic slur backlash However, speaking about her firing to reporters ahead of the episode, Francesca said: “He fired me because of a spelling error but he himself, in his autobiography, refers to his own spelling as atrocious, so I think we probably have more in common than he realises.” She continued: “I wish more of my performance in the other tasks were taken into account when the decision was made. After all, it is a process and everything that has happened prior should be taken into consideration, in my opinion.” Fired ‘Apprentice’ star has questioned Lord Sugar’s decision Francesca was joined in the boardroom by Sophie Wilding and Brittany Carter, who she said she is tipping for the win.
