The Apprentice Insider found itself toe to toe with Edward as he reflected upon the virtues of orange squeezing, the origins of 'roll with the punches' and communicating with what Lord Sugar described as verbal "text messages".

Edward also clarified that his team's issues with using the mechanical juicers with the oranges 鈥� once they managed to correctly identify the fruit 鈥� was not a knockout blow. "I think we were actually squeezing them fast by hand!" he declared.

"I think the only real tension that was in my task really came from Glenn," continued the ill-fated Project Manager. "I think the problem with Glenn was he saw that we weren't selling. It was almost a sinking ship as it were and obviously I was the person to target."

"The real lesson I learnt from The Apprentice is to speak with full sentences," the first fired candidate of Series 7 revealed. "I feel that if I fully explained to Lord Sugar that I actually absolutely, completely knew what I was doing and conveyed that to him I would not have been fired."

Viewers couldn't help but notice a certain catchphrase that Edward was keen to "roll" out on numerous occasions. He told The Apprentice Insider that it is indeed "fantastic advice", but where did it stem from?

"The 'roll with the punches' 鈥� and I used other boxing type analogies like 'taking the gloves off' 鈥� it's just part of our English vernacular, which is great. You've got other things like 'on the ropes' and whatnot. Great stuff!"

After being fired, Edward opted to travel around South East Asia with his wife in what he described as a bid to "explore myself". He admitted that "the jury is still out" on whether he made the right decision to leave his job, but he was quick to encourage any naysayers of his performance on the show to step into the ring themselves.

"All I'd say to all the people out there who say 'they're idiots, they make all these mistakes' and whatnot 鈥� just apply and do it yourself. Until you do it, you just don't know how difficult it is."

Edward bade The Apprentice Insider farewell with one spot of advice for fans of the show:

"Roll with the punches 鈥� come on guys!"
