Fired Apprentice star Amber-Rose fumes over interviews edit as 'brutal' moment not shown

Amber-Rose Badrudin might have called herself "winner of 2025" on her CV, but sadly that didn't become a reality after floundering during the notorious interviews stage before being unceremoniously axed from the show tonight.

However, the bubble tea entrepreneur is not impressed with the edit of the show, insisting that she received the "least praise" and that a major moment for her was cut out. Speaking to The , Amber-Rose also believes she started on "the back foot" with the public, insisting: "I think that people were a lot harsher with me."

Her fellow candidates Chisola Chitambala and Jordan Dargan also missed out on a place in the final, with Lord Sugar awarding and Anisa Khan with places in the final and the opportunity to win a £250,000 investment in their businesses.

"I think in terms of the way I handled it, I actually am really proud," Amber-Rose says of the interviews. "I think in the moment I was really nervous inside, but watching it back, I was like, 'Wow, you did a great job'.

"I think what was a little bit frustrating for me, if I'm honest, is that I actually had a really lovely conversation with Claudine [Collins]. She was extremely complimentary of me and my journey as an entrepreneur and how far I've come as a woman in business and what I've done with my social media platforms. None of that made the edit.

"So I think in that, in that sense, it was a bit frustrating for me, because I felt out of all of my fellow candidates, I kind of received the least praise. I don't feel like I don't feel like that was fair, in a way, but that's just me being completely honest."

Meanwhile, Chisola tells us that she was happy with the edit. She admits: "For me, personally, I thought that there were potentially some moments in there that were more brutal than what was shown. So I was actually quite happy with the edit. I didn't have any issues with it."

Amber-Rose was the first to receive her marching orders from Lord Sugar, with Chisola following soon afterwards. Despite failing to impress with his business plan and being told he had joined the process "too early", Jordan managed to bag Lord Sugar's coveted business card as he was told to work hard and get in touch with him when he feels like he's moved to the next level.

"It was like all my childhood dreams rolled into one," he gushes, but adds: "I dropped him a message the next day. I just thanked him for the opportunity, and I got a one word answer. So that was great. He's a busy man. You want to choose your moments wisely and and that's what I'm doing. I'm working hard and when the time is right, I'll come back."

Amber-Rose - who has 41,600 followers on - also speaks about her struggle with the social media reactions every week to her appearance on the show. "I think I started on the back foot a little bit with the public," she says. "I think that me going in with a pre-existing kind of social media following actually meant that I was under a lot more scrutiny than the other candidates were."

She adds: "I think that people were a lot harsher with me, and so it was at times it was quite hard to deal with the negativity because it felt quite loud. It felt amplified just because of how big my platform is. However, there's been so much positivity and I'm not going to be sat there scrolling and reading hate comments about myself, reading endless threads about how much people hate me."

The convenience store owner says that she tries to take it all with a "pinch of salt" and says that these type of experiences "really build resilience and grit and show you how strong you are as a human being".

"We are human," she continues. "We're not these kind of fictional characters just because we're on their TV screens. And I think that sometimes people take it a little bit too far and make it a little bit too personal, but at the end of the day, we're just young entrepreneurs trying our best. You know, it was a goal of all of us to be on The Apprentice and to make it to the final five. For all three of us, we can just leave with our heads held high."

The final of The Apprentice airs Thursday 17th April at 9pm on BBC One.
