Science teacher, Noorul Choudhury has become the sixth person to be fired by Sir Alan Sugar.
We caught up with Pantsman for an exclusive interview to find out who was really to blame for his departure and why only illness and death can upset him...
Did Sir Alan make the right decision?
No. I think I out performed Ben on the task. The guy was all talk and when it came to the crunch he couldn’t deliver. So, wrong decision but at the end of the day, I respect Sir Alan’s decision.
Where did it all go wrong?
I didn’t think it went wrong for me at all. I don’t particularly come across well because of the way the show is edited but I contributed in every single task to the best of my ability.
Do you think you annoyed Sir Alan by bringing up the subject of Ben’s magazine deal hopes?
I don’t think so. You have to defend yourself and show the true colours of the other candidates. I questioned Ben’s integrity after he said he wanted to pose naked for Heat magazine.
How did you feel when Sir Alan said, "I hope whoever employs him gets a receipt"?
Whatever Sir Alan says, I never take it personally. A lot of people say things to your face, or behind your back and you learn to cope with it. I never get upset at that sort of thing. The only thing that upsets me is if people are ill or they die around me.
Why do you think you earned a reputation for coasting and letting others do the hard work?
If you think about it, it’s the editing that’s made me come across that way – candidates never said that. If I was so incompetent why wasn’t I ever brought back into the boardroom? Nobody ever questions that. That speaks for itself.
In last week’s task you had to dress up as Pantsman – was that the highlight of your Apprentice experience?
I don’t think there were any highlights because at the end of the day, I treated it like a job interview. Although, winning when I was project manager was a highlight, regardless of how I won it.
Will you be returning to teaching?
Yes because its something I’ve worked hard for and I’ve always wanted to apply to be a head teacher. At the end of the day you can still do business – you can get other people to run it for you.
Who do you think will win the series?
There are a couple of girls who are real contenders. I’d like to think Kate will win but Lorraine is a bit of a dark horse... you never know.
