THE APPRENTICE FINALIST DETAILS REASON FOR KARREN BRADY FEAR

saw a second all-female final which included Marnie, Victoria Goulbourne, Dani Donovan, Megan Hornby, and Rochelle Anthony, who all made it to the dreaded interview stage. Soon after, Lord Sugar fired three and selected Rochelle and Marnie to go through the last episode. Speaking to Express.co.uk and other press ahead of the final episode, Victoria explained why she was "most scared" of aide Karren Brady during the process.

Straight-talking Karren is always on hand to offer Lord Sugar advice and call out the contestants trying to shift the blame in the boardroom.

In this year's series, she was also one of the interviewers during the gruelling business plan analysis stage for the first time.

When asked which interviewer she found the most frightening, online sweet shop owner Victoria admitted Karren was the most intimidating for her.

"To be honest, I think I was most scared about Karren!" She confessed while reflecting on her journey on the show and how she found both Alan and Karren.

The 28-year-old continued: "Out of the two of them, I think Karren reminds me of my mum a bit!

"And I think especially because Karen worked with us throughout the whole process, she was on pretty much every task with us. "So you feel like you know her. So I didn't want to disappoint her. So yeah, probably Karren I found the scariest."

The interview episode famously sees industry experts pick holes in the finalists' business plans.

While she may have found Karren the scariest, Victoria seemed to take issue with a remark made by Lord Sugar himself in the final episode.

While deciding who to keep in the process for the last episode, the business magnate explained to Victoria: "Frankly, I'm not sweet on your idea I'm afraid."

He added: "So it's been nice working with you, but it is with regret, Victoria, that you're fired."

As she thanked Alan, Karren, and Tim Campbell, Victoria wished her co-stars luck and walked towards the door to leave.

"Keep it as a hobby, it makes a good hobby," Alan advised to a seemingly insulted Victoria.

Speaking to the press about the moment, she explained: "Alan advised me in the episode to keep my business as a hobby, which I don't know if he meant...

"But my business was not a hobby. It did give me a full-time wage for two years and I'm really grateful for that.

"I'm so proud that you know, I was able to build something that did give me a full-time job essentially for the last two years."
