THE Apprentice’s latest axed candidate may be waving goodbye to TV for now – but is planning a return to screens.
Virdi Singh Mazaria was fired by Lord Sugar after last night’s Hungary challenge, having lost seven out of eight tasks in the BBC One series.
But that does not mean music producer and DJ Virdi expects business to crash and burn.
He said: “It isn’t the last time you’ll see me on TV. I really want a TV career and to be back on screen in the next eight months to a year. I’ve always had a passion for acting as well as business.
“I love shows like Peaky Blinders – you know, the proper, serious TV dramas – so I’d love to do something like that.
“But Celebrity Big Brother I wouldn’t turn down, or a role in EastEnders.”

Last week The Sun reported on how The Apprentice made show history.
One of the two teams landed a record-breaking deal with a huge supermarket.
Last Thursday's episode of the BBC series saw the two teams tasked with designing a new cereal for children aged 6-8.
As usual, things didn't always go to plan for both sides, but with just one hour to work her magic, Nexus' Foluso Falade was able to secure an incredible 200,000 unit deal with supermarket Iceland.

The deal also included an exclusive three-month selling period, which before hearing the final numbers in the board room, Lord Sugar deemed a "bit of a bl***y risk".
But it was a risk that paid off, with Nexus beating their opponents by a whopping 193,000 units.
Foluso's efforts won praise from Lord Sugar who said: "Well done, not often we see orders of that size here."
