IT is finally the end of the line for our Apprentice hopeful and Essex University graduate Brittany Carter as she narrowly missed out on this year’s TV Apprentice final.

Brittany had self-admittedly never done a business plan before, so was feeling the pressure for the assessment.

Four of Lord Alan Sugar’s trusted advisors, Mike Soutar, Linda Plant, Claudine Collins, and the returning Claude Littner, spoke to the contestants, assessing their business proposals.

Brittany was criticised for her 14-page plan which was deemed too short and missing several key parts.

Brittany was fired first, shortly before Stephanie.
