Axed Apprentice star slams Lord Sugar saying ‘he’ll regret firing me’ after embarrassing blunder
AXED Apprentice star Mark Moseley has hit back at Lord Sugar and insists ‘he’ll regret firing me’ after he was thrown off the latest episode of the business based series.
Mark found himself as the latest hopeful to be fired by the business titan following week eight of the competition where the two teams were tasked with putting on an immersive event in Shrewsbury.
At the conclusion of tonight’s episode, Mark insisted that Lord Sugar would “regret” his decision as he slammed him in his taxi home.
Mark remarked: “I think Lord Sugar will regret his decision. He would have got his money back within the first year if he’d invested in me but as long as he knows I’m the best rat catcher in town that’s the main thing.”
Mark took on the role of Project Manager for tonight’s task that saw him try and flog tickets to an interactive prison theatre experience for an eye-popping £180.
He was quickly forced to reduce the amount to £110 after failing to secure any solid ticket sales to the public.
Mark was then forced to sell to two businesses and still only managed to scrape just over £1,000 in sales, leaving his teammate Simba in absolute disbelief.
However, Mark was quick to standby his decision as he commented after his exit: “I made the right call when we were trying to sell tickets for £180.
“We could have been trying to sell tickets to the moon, but nobody was going to pay £180. I got criticised for dropping the price before we had even started but even then, at £110, people were still unlikely to buy tickets at that price.
“We had no choice but to drop the price. I think it was my turn to go because Simba and Megan deserved a BAFTA for their performance in the prison.”
Another shock revelation came courtesy of Karen who informed them that as a result of miscalculation alcohol sales, they were in fact operating at a loss before the event had even kicked off.
Lord Sugar told Mark in the boardroom ahead of his brutal axing: “Mark – it’s never happened before to me in this process where the teams haven’t even kicked off yet and they’re already in the red. So, it is with regret Mark, that you’re fired.”
Mark compared working with Lord Sugar, Karren Brady and Tim Campbell to Military personnel.
He said: “If I was going to compare it, Lord Sugar would be a General that you do not want to get on the wrong side of with Baroness Brady and Tim as the two Colonels; they’re great but they don’t muck around either.”
