Who got fired from The Apprentice in week one?
The boys lost the first task with a profit margin of just £44, and it was Shahin Hassan who had to put on a scarf and walk sadly into a taxi.
Shahin, 36, from Birmingham was in the bottom three with project manager Lewis Ellis and teammate Dean Ahmad - and he was fired by Lord Sugar because of his lack of ticket sales.
Lord Sugar told Lewis: "Lewis, I have to say that as the project manager one is bitterly disappointed and I’m also bitterly disappointed in your outbursts of temper.
"But having said that, Shahin – you didn’t sell, it’s as simple as that, we lost the task on sales – so it is with regret, Shahin, that you’re fired.
