The Apprentice: 'Lacklustre' Natasha Scribbins is fired by Lord Sugar after Mexican mess

Natasha fails in Team Venture with Jim and Susie

Natasha Scribbins was fired by Lord Sugar tonight

Natasha Scribbins was booted off The Apprentice last night.

The 31-year-old divisional manager claimed: ‘I'm like a switch. If I need to turn it down I will. If I need to turn it up then I turn it up.'

But Natasha failed to impress Lord Sugar in a task to create a new fast food restaurant.

In Team Venture with Susan Ma and Jim Eastwood, Natasha launched a Mexican brand called Caraca's which was given 4 out of 10 by food industry experts.

Team Logic - Helen Milligan and Tom Pellereau - started MyPy and, despite claiming Italian Christopher Columbus was British, were rated 7 out of 10 for their organisation, delcious quality pies and fast service.

What concerned Lord Sugar most was that Team Venture had no proper business plan. 

When the trio were asked who should go, both Natasha and Susan nominated Jim, but Jim said Natasha was the weakest link and Lord Sugar agreed.

'I've found you've become a little lacklustre in the last few weeks,' he told her. 'You're fired.'

Natasha looked devastated but declared: 'I've walked out of this process with my head held high.'
