Apprentice star Nicholas De Lacy Brown crushed by wall

Trainee barrister recovering in hospital

Nicholas De Lacy Brown was fired in the first episode of this season

Apprentice loser Nicholas De Lacy Brown won't walk for months after his leg was crushed in a freak accident.

The trainee barrister was injured when a lorry reversed into a wall, which then fell on top of him. He was treated by a medical team who happened to be making a documentary for ITV.

‘He was trapped for several agonising minutes and screaming in pain,’ a source tells The Sun.

‘Things really took a surreal turn when the film crew also jumped out of the ambulance with the paramedics.’

Nicholas has had several operations since the accident on Thursday.

Doctors say the 23-year-old, who is currently recovering in hospital, will be on crutches until October.

He was the 1st to be fired on the current series of Sir Alan Sugar's BBC 1 show The Apprentice.
