Apprentice contestant is fired after tears on show
Thursday, 24 May 2007
Jadine Johnson - the latest Apprentice to be booted off the show - insists she's not losing it, despite bursting into tears.
The 27-year-old financial advisor and single mum says her emotional outburst was because she was missing her nine-year-old daughter, Ja-Dae.
'I was having a hard time because I was apart from my daughter so much,' she tells Metro. 'Not having any contact with her was so hard. We rarely got to call home because filming the show was so hectic.'
Four years ago Jadine had hospital treatment for chronic depression. Friends expressed concern that she would not be able to cope with the strain of competing for a £100,000 job with Sir Alan Sugar.
But Jadine insisted: 'I went through that four or five years ago. I think it's an awful thing to suggest I wouldn't be able to cope now, and the wrong message to send out.'
She was fired after her team failed their task selling to trade. Sir Alan told team leader Tre he had 'messed up double-barrel' but decided to spare him.
