IT was another close call for Altrincham's Rebecca Jeffery in the Apprentice - but she survived through to week five.

The rival teams' task was to choose a department to manage at upmarket Liberty department store in London. They also had to run a personal shopper service.

Marketing boss Rebecca's team chose to sell handbags, while their opponents opted for scarves.

Rebecca's team lost out when the profit margins were revealed in the board room.

The fact that Rebecca had only sold two handbags left her in a precarious position. Team project manager Grainne McCoy dithered over who to bring back in the boardroom - and momentarily chose Rebecca before changing her mind.

Of the three that went back into the boardroom, Lord Sugar decided to sack Mukai Noiri.

There was a surprise at the start of the episode when another candidate, Aleksandra King, decided to leave because she wasn't enjoying it and she missed her family.
