The Apprentice's First Axed Contestant Opens Up About Early Exit

The Apprentice's first axed contestant, Emma Rothwell, has broken her silence on her departure from the show and admitted that she "cracked under boardroom pressure." Rothwell expressed feeling devastated about being eliminated so early in the competition.

Pressure in the Boardroom

In the opening episode of the new series, candidates were tasked with putting on luxury tours in Austria, leading to disastrous results. Emma failed to make any sales during the task and struggled to impress Lord Alan Sugar and his advisers in the boardroom, ultimately leading to her elimination.

Reflecting on the Experience

Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report, Emma admitted that she wished she had fought harder during her final speech in the boardroom. She acknowledged her strengths in negotiation but felt unprepared for the intensity of the competition and the pressure of the boardroom environment.

Looking to the Future

Despite her early exit, Emma remains determined to continue growing her business, Quirky Giraffe, and sees the experience on The Apprentice as a valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth. She plans to pursue her business goals with or without the £250,000 cash prize.
