Apprentice Star Reveals Shocking Behind-the-Scenes Secret

BBG News

During this season’s production, it became necessary to halt filming for The Apprentice in secrecy due to an unforeseen illness that struck one of the contestants on set.

According to reports, BBC executives temporarily halted production during the second week due to Nadia Suliaman falling ill while working in the boardroom.

As I reflect on this past week, I find myself recalling the moment when my health took an unexpected turn during the virtual popstar task. The events that followed in the boardroom were undeniably challenging.

Looking back at this recent episode, I can’t help but remember the unexpected health hurdle I faced during our virtual popstar challenge. Needless to say, things escalated quickly when we gathered in the boardroom.

She asserted that the manufacturing had to be momentarily halted due to her severe illness in the boardroom, and she fondly remembered Lord Sugar’s kind act during her hardships.

‘You know I got quite ill in episode two. I was coughing,’ she told The Sun after her elimination.

Due to my severe coughing fits, it became difficult to control and production had to halt temporarily since I wasn’t feeling well.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share an intriguing moment that lingers in my memory. In a surprising turn of events, Alan Sugar casually tossed a throat lozenge across the table towards me, a gesture that spoke volumes about his thoughtfulness and consideration.

Nadia mentioned that Baroness Brady not only complimented their kindness but also passed her a tissue. She expressed her gratitude to them for providing her with another opportunity instead of dismissing her from the job.

In this week’s show, she acknowledged that the incident caused her to appreciate Lord Sugar’s choice to dismiss her, as she continued to be a part of the team despite her initial difficulties.

If I had been eliminated during episode two, particularly since I was unwell due to the virtual pop star challenge and shouldn’t have been there that day, it would have devastated me as I felt I didn’t deserve to return then.

The BBC declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail.

After being let go, Nadia has additionally advocated for her assertive negotiation method, which gained popularity and was likened to users on the resale app Vinted.

In the recent episode that aired on Thursday, Nadia, aged 36 and proprietor of a chain of upscale hair and beauty salons, was let go rather abruptly by Lord Sugar due to her inability to generate profits while serving as project manager.

As a fervent food enthusiast, I found myself immersed in an intriguing challenge: transforming humble potatoes and juicy tomatoes into cold, hard cash. The objective was simple yet captivating – create a mouthwatering dish that would entice the public and a corporate client to part with their money. The stage was set for a culinary showdown!

In spite of reservations expressed by her fellow actors, Nadia persistently pushed her team towards creating expensive sausage and mash dishes and, under her leadership, they didn’t abide by the stringent requirements of a custom corporate order.

Nadia disregarded worries from her colleagues and relentlessly drove her team to produce costly sausages and mash. Additionally, they consistently failed to meet the specific demands that came with their exclusive corporate contract, all under Nadia’s guidance.

Following her being held accountable for causing a £73.40 deficit, Lord Sugar decided not to allow Nadia to compete for her spot in the contest anymore. Instead, she entered the boardroom alongside Keir Shave and Dr. Jana Denzel.

Lord Sugar chose not to let Nadia strive for her position within the competition after it was discovered that she had led to a £73.40 shortage. In the boardroom, she stood alongside Keir Shave and Dr. Jana Denzel.

After the harsh termination, Nadia expressed her disappointment to TopMob that the outcome didn’t go as far as she had hoped, yet she doesn’t regret being firm during negotiations.

Or:

In a conversation with TopMob following the unexpected dismissal, Nadia shared that she felt disappointed at not advancing further, but she stands by her decision to be assertive during negotiations.

Nadia expressed her disappointment, stating she felt she could have achieved more and should have challenged herself harder.

Instead of holding back, stay authentic to who you are and choose the path that feels right for you. The competition is fierce, the workload heavy, and the stress high – but remember, in such situations, it’s crucial to follow your instincts.

I tend to be fully committed once I take on a task or make a decision. I don’t dabble or hesitate, and my actions reflect this straightforward approach.

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

Nadia gained popularity online, as she tried to secure a significant discount on a sheep’s fleece during a negotiation. Originally priced at £20, she proposed only paying £1.50 for it.

She’s often found offering modest sums for used goods, much like some users on the popular resale app Vinted, known for their low bids.

Nadia expressed relief that the significant moment they discussed ended up in the final cut of the show, as otherwise, she might have been overlooked after leaving early.

Nadia shared: “Things have spread like wildfire! It seems I’m being likened to vendors on Vinted. I’m overjoyed by it. People recognize me now, and I am grateful for that. If I had put in all that effort and nobody recognized me, I would have been truly disappointed.

In my authentic approach to negotiations, I was taught a method called “gap negotiations” that resembled a clock face during my time in the corporate environment.

In this circumstance, I found it challenging to negotiate due to the limited time available and the pressure we were under. In negotiations, they often advise that when the other party sets their price (in this case £20), you should propose a price at the opposite end of the spectrum, and then you find a compromise in between. That’s essentially what we did.

In just four short minutes, I decided not to develop a bond with him. However, it turned out beneficial since we managed to secure the item at only £12.

If asked if she would change her approach to stay involved for a longer period if possible, Nadia said, “I prefer not to, as it doesn’t align with my character.

The Apprentice airs Thursdays on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
