Apprentice contestant admits he deserved to be fired from the show

The Apprentice’s Paul Sullivan has admitted he deserved to be fired after “hanging himself” in the boardroom with repeated outbursts towards Lord Sugar.

The 38-year-old interrupted the business magnate after he was questioned over the failure of this week’s challenge which saw the two teams tasked with organising exclusive late-night events at two of London’s biggest tourist attractions – The London Aquarium and Madame Tussauds.

Sullivan, who led Team Nebula, said he still felt “bruised” 0 Paul Sullivan admitted that he handled things badly by exiting the process and hit out at team-mate Frances Bishop for turning on him in front of Lord Sugar, and for her tears in the boardroom.

He said: “I think the cumulative effects of the day and the night and what had gone wrong had kind of taken its toll and then I think that was just compounded really at the last point when Frances sort of turned on me and chucked me under the bus in the boardroom.

“If I wanted to try and save myself. I’m not sure the tears were suited to the boardroom. I was not overly impressed with people crying.”

The marketing agency owner said he was “disappointed” in himself for his outburst towards Lord Sugar.

“Do I think I should have gone? Part of me says no but part of me has to accept maybe on the day you hung yourself and it’s my own fault,” he said.
