Apprentice week two: no Joy for Jewish hopeful

Ms Stefanicki, a self-proclaimed “PR guru”, was blamed for not speaking up about the product, which received no sales offers - a record for the programme.

During the show, she said: "I'm not keen on the product. I think the prototype is disappointing."

The 31-year-old, who has visited Israel many times and has even considered making aliyah, told Lord Sugar: "I didn't buy into it as a bookstand, but I supported the team."

Lord Sugar fired her and said: "I haven't seen anything from you."

The boys’ team, Synergy, came up with the "Cuuli", a beach towel and pillow with space to store a bottle of water.

Ms Stefanicki was not the only Apprentice to leave the show. Raleigh Addington quit because his brother was injured in an explosion in Afghanistan.

However two Jewish candidates remain in with a chance to become Lord Sugar’s next Apprentice; Manchester’s Alex Epstein, and former JFS pupil Melissa Cohen.
