The Apprentice Accidentally Shows Man Lying On Boardroom Floor, And We Have A Lot Of Questions

The current series of The Apprentice has actually proved fairly controversial, as so far, of the seven candidates fired, six have been from BAME backgrounds.

Jemelin Artigas was the latest contestant to be shown the door, following this week’s task which saw the teams attempting to put together advertising campaigns about tourism in Finland.

There has also been a racism scandal involving candidate Lottie Lion, currently still in the competition, who was accused of writing “shut up Gandhi” to another contestant in a group WhatsApp conversation.

Lottie has insisted the comment was not racist, but rather inspired by a prior conversation about Gandhi within the group.

She insisted: “The comments were taken out of context, and I ask the public not to make judgment without knowing the full context. At the moment, I would like my focus to be on the show, and I’m not interested in negative media attention.”

The Apprentice airs every Wednesday night on BBC One.
