Apprentice contestant Aleksandra King sensationally QUIT the show in scenes aired during tonight's episode.
Announcing her departure from the process Aleksandra said, “You guys, I just have to say something — I’m going to leave the process. I’m really sorry I’m just not enjoying it.
“I have found the process overwhelming and stressful and really intense. I just want to go home.”
Former contestant Aleksandra runs her own business consultancy company, and the 38-year-old reckons she had one of the best business plan Lord Alan Sugar has ever seen.
Despite her determination to get ahead, Aleksandra says she is also selfless – describing herself as altruistic.
The Apprentice continues Thursdays at 9pm, the winning entrepreneur will receive a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar to help grow their business.
There are 18 candidates taking part in this series, nine men and nine women are competing for Baroness Karren Brady and Claude Littner’s approval, in the battle to become Lord Sugar’s next apprentice.
Aleksandra even claims to be fluent in seven languages, including CAT, and even hisses in her audition video.
Speaking to the BBC cameras before the show’s launch, she said: “I am a huge personality. I don’t fear any candidates.
“The only things that I fear are tsunamis, volcanoes and Ebola. I can speak cat.
“I am a meteor bounding down from space going towards my goal, and I am going to blow everything and everyone out of the water.
“My biggest flaw is that I am actually quite single-minded and obsessive.
“Once I get something into my mind, there is absolutely no stopping me – and I will just bulldoze everything and everyone through to get to where I wanna go.
“I am everything that Lord Sugar has ever wanted from a business partner.
“I will bring a phenomenal amount of energy to this process, and I am going to provide Lord Sugar with probably the best business plan he has ever seen.”
