Who was fired from The Apprentice 2025? Nadia Suliaman is the fourth candidate to be axed by Lord Sugar after huge blunder in landmark boardroom showdown

Nadia Suliaman was the fourth contestant to be given the boot from the BBC show on Thursday night.

The salon owner, 35, has followed in the footsteps Carlo Brancati, Aoibheann Walsh and Emma Rothwell, who have also been told the dreaded words ‘You’re Fired’ by Lord Sugar.

Week four saw the two teams battle it out to win by turning crops into cash.

The remaining entrepreneurs were tasked with making their very own tasty dish that could be sold to the public, and could also be included in a corporate order.

And it was Nadia and Mia Collins put themselves forward as project managers.

But it was Nadia’s team that lost after failing to not make enough profit from their posh bangers and mash.

Not only that, her team also didn’t keep to the strict demands of their corporate client’s order.

Nadia’s team unfortunately made a £73.40 loss.

The salon owner decided to bring back Keir Shave and Dr. Jana Denzel to the boardroom to battle it for a place in the competition.

But in a boardroom first, Lord Sugar didn’t give the co-founder of Forbici London a chance to fight her corner.

Lord Sugar said in the boardroom: ‘Nadia, we can’t find any other reason for the failure of this task other than your decision that you made for bangers and mash.

‘It’s as simple as that. The amount of money paid for sausages, five hundred odd pounds, really killed this task.

‘So Nadia, you’ve left me nowhere to go unfortunately, you’re fired.’

He also demanded that Dr. Jana Denzel is the project manager next week.

Nadia then said in the taxi: ‘Lord Sugar has missed out on an absolute massive opportunity with me.

‘There’s no reason why I should have been fired, I think it’s really unfair.’

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline after the brutal sacking, Nadia says she is ‘gutted’ not to have gone further in the process but doesn’t regret being a hard negotiator.

Nadia said: ‘I was absolutely gutted. I feel like I should have gone further and ultimately pushed myself more.

‘I could have taken a step back, but you have to be true to yourself and do what you think is right. It’s a competitive environment and it’s hard work and you’re under pressure.

‘I’m one of these people that when I go in with something and I make a decision, I’m very much that when I’m in, I’m fully in. There’s no messing about and what you see is what you get.

‘This won’t be the end of Nadia Suliaman, I can tell you that.’

Nadia, who grew up on a tough Swansea council estate, became an Internet meme after attempting to drive a hard bargain by offering £1.50 in a negotiation for a sheep’s fleece when the product usually costs £20.

When asked if she would adopt a different tactic to remain in the process for longer if given the chance, Nadia replied: ‘No, it’s just not my personality’

She has been compared to users on the resale app Vinted, who notoriously propose small amounts in exchange for secondhand items.

But Nadia says she’s relieved that the talked about moment made the show’s final edit or else she may have been forgotten about following her early departure.

Nadia said: ‘It’s gone viral. I am being compared to Vinted sellers. I love it. People know who I am and thank God. I would have been gutted if I did all of that and no one knew.

‘That is the way I genuinely do negotiations. When I learned negotiations in the corporate world, we learned gap negotiations, which was always done on a clock face.

‘In this situation, it was hard bargaining for me because we didn’t have much time, we were up against pressure, they always say in negotiations that when the other person puts their price on the table, which he had at £20, you put your price on the table the completely opposite end and then you meet in the middle and that’s what we did.

‘We had four minutes, I’m not going to build a relationship with this guy, ultimately it paid off because we got the item for £12.’

When asked if she would adopt a different tactic to remain in the process for longer if given the chance, Nadia replied: ‘No, it’s just not my personality.

‘I have been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks. This could have gone one of two ways. I could have been a candidate and lasted four weeks and people might not have even known my name or who I am.

‘I might not have got any airtime and people might have thought, who is this girl? And I would have done all that filming, gone through all the effort for nothing.

‘I’m so glad that at least people know my name, I have loads of people following me now and they’re like oh my God, you’re so funny, you should be in TV and entertainment.’

She added: ‘I wouldn’t have been true to myself if I just blended into the background. I have always been someone that stands out and goes for it and makes it happen. A lot of the time it works but there are occasions like this where it hasn’t, and I have to own that. I’m not a businessperson if I don’t own it.’
