ALTRINCHAM'S Rebecca Jeffery was given the bullet by Lord Sugar in episode six of the Apprentice - after weeks of close scrapes.

And she certainly didn't hold back in the traditional black cab interview given by the fired candidate.

She said: “I feel sad to have left. I think other people in the process have done less than me. They just happen to have been on winning sides.

“At the end, I think I went because I’m not a t***, basically. I think that’s my downfall. I haven’t been enough of a t***.”

As in every one of the previous five weeks, 31-year-old design and marketing agency owner Rebecca was on the losing side.

This week, Lord Sugar sent the candidates out to work the night shift. At sunset, the teams were given a shopping list of nine multicultural items to be purchased in one night for the lowest possible price and told to be back at the Shard by 6am.

Lord Sugar had warned Rebecca last week she must 'pull out the stops' in future.

But she dropped a clanger when she tried to source one of the items, African black soap. She called a store in Streatham and thought they had it. But when they got there they found it was 'soup' they had in stock, not African black soap. That meant the team wasted one and a half hours travelling, in the 'against-the-clock' task.

Later, in the boardroom, Lord Sugar was not impressed: "It’s like the Two Ronnies - a wonder you didn't ask him for four candles".

Despite Rebecca saying the previous week that her talents would come to the fore when she was a project manager, she didn't put herself forward for the role.

She later explained that is because she isn't a negotiator and does not know London.

But Lord Sugar finally decided she had had enough chances.

He said: "On balance, I have to think about past performance.

"On that basis, I have to say to Rebecca - 'you are fired'."

Rebecca said: "Thank you, it’s been a great experience."

Rebecca later said on 'The Apprentice - You're Fired', that, although she had felt sad, she was also a 'little bit relieved' when she was dismissed, as it meant she could go home to her family.

"I have a three-year-old boy and I was missing him like crazy."

She said she was now concentrating on continuing to build up Fi and Becs Design and Marketing, which she runs with her sister,
