The Apprentice Insider meets Felicity

Ben Rawson-Jones, Blog Editor | 14:05 UK time, Friday, 27 May 2011

Felicity came a cropper in the Beauty task, following a nightmare day at the Bullring in which her team failed to flog enough fake hair products or treatments. But the fired candidate wasn't whinging about the 'winges' when the Apprentice Insider caught up with her for a natter. In fact, she was refreshingly honest about where the task went wrong…

"I definitely regret not taking Tom's advice," Felicity said, referring to 'Mr Notebook-Calculator's early warning about the epic distance between the treatment room and the team's stand. "All I saw was 'Bullring – Birmingham' – perfect. I wanted to get in there before the other team did… but it wasn't the best location at all."

Did she not take heed of Nick Hewer's exasperated expressions during the early part of the task? "Nick's always got a raised eyebrow!" laughed Felicity. "Nick is a great, great character. He always has those facial expressions whatever you're doing. So I'd always think 'is he double bluffing us?' I didn't look at him and think 'oh oh, this is going wrong."

Many will be unaware that Felicity is a trained actress, but did she deploy those thespian skills to her advantage at any stage? "I definitely used my acting ability to let people know how great the 'winge' looked – the fake fringes," she admitted. "To be honest though, if it was the exact right hair colour – which is very rare – it did look alright."

Something that wasn't quite alright was the interaction between Felicity and Ellie in the boardroom after the task loss was announced and tempers flared. Nonetheless, Felicity stated: "I don't think there was a personality clash between me and Ellie. I think there was a work ethic clash between us. I think that I am much more passionate about everything I do… and Ellie doesn't quite have that. So I think that's where the clash came."Ìý

As for the lack of a goodbye from Ellie and Natasha after her firing? "I was quite surprised, " sighed the ill-fated Project Manager. "And I was quite hurt". Life in the house was a much more rosy affair however. "I really enjoyed sharing a room with all the girls," she revealed, along with the fact that her roommates were Natasha, Ellie and Melody. "We really got on!" added Felicity, who branded Susan "definitely the liveliest of everyone" in the house. Ìý

Felicity, who is currently busy running an event in Manchester to benefit unemployed actors, also told us that the highlight of her time on The Apprentice was the App task. "I know our App was rubbish!" she confessed. "However, I loved all the creativity of doing the design of it."

    I was surprised that they picked the wigs to sell, any of the girls should have been able to tell this is a speciality interest item, and not suitable for mass market item suitable for sales in a shopping mall.

    Also, perhaps they could have got some chairs down and offered some shoulder and neck massages in the shopping floor.

    The intro shown at the beginning of each episode contains footage of future episodes. That means we know some of the candidates that won't be fired at least until those episodes are shown in full. Please let the producers know that it has made watching the show less enjoyable for me, some of my friends and probably lots of other people.
