‘I GAVE EVERYTHING’ SAYS MAURA AFTER APPRENTICE AXE

MAURA Rath has said she has “no regrets” after she was fired on last night’s The Apprentice.

The Wexford woman was competing on the hit BBC show for a life-changing investment from Alan Sugar for her Yoga With Maura business.

But last night, it was the end of the road for the star as she and Raj Chohan faced Sugar in the boardroom.

Week nine, which saw the return of the iconic tv shopping task where candidates sell live to the nation on a leading shopping channel, both were brought into the boardroom and axed.

Complaints

In his address Sugar said: “This is a selling task, your selling skills Raj, although you say are good, were not good in this case…..but the salesmanship was no good whatsoever.

“Maura, I’m sorry Maura but you turned people off, created complaints. I think the project manager should have pulled you when she watched you and saw you doing it.

“And for that reason, Raj, I’m sorry, but I think you are responsible for the failure of this task and therefore You’re Fired.”

And, Sugar in taking aim at Maura added; “Flo, you’ve taken responsibility for the price drop and she says (gesturing towards Maura) it’s 50/50.

“Maybe me screaming and shouting and maybe you dropping the prices. I have to balance in my mind if it’s 50/50.

“Honestly, I don’t see it like that, I see it more 70/30. So, Maura, it is with regret You’re Fired.”

Speaking afterwards in the taxi, Maura explained her actions: “I was screaming and didn’t realise it, but you know what it’s just who I am. I have passion and no regrets.”

Speaking before she went on the show, Maura said she had “big plans” for her business.

She described the show as “my hardest business journey to date, testing me emotionally and physically”.
