Apprentice stars don party attire as they head out in Liverpool for Victoria’s birthday

The Apprentice candidates enjoyed a night out in Liverpool on Saturday as they gathered to celebrate the birthday of fellow contestant Victoria Goulbourne.

The cast of 2023 – who can be seen in the 17th edition of Lord Sugar’s program – swapped their work clothes for busty crop tops and glitzy playsuits as they made their way around town.

Notably absent was Gregory Ebbs, who was fired as the third contestant on The Apprentice this week.

Leading the way was Rochelle Anthony, the so-called “Kim Kardashian of the business world”.

Rochelle looked chic as she donned an oversized t-shirt and black leather knee-high boots for the night.

Her hand was held by birthday girl Victoria, who looked sensational in a sparkling black bodysuit.

The former flight attendant, who was far from boardroom ready, added inches to her gorgeous figure in a pair of black heels and went all out with a stunning palette of makeup for the occasion.

Victoria is the owner of an online sweets shop in Merseyside which she started in lockdown and has since grown into a social media success.

Third in line was Shannon Martin, who decided to leave the show in the second episode of the series after deciding she “loved” her business and “didn’t need a partner.”

The bridal boutique owner opted for a busty presentation in a lustrous blue gown for the occasion.

The antiques market owner was sacked in Thursday’s episode after Lord Sugar said he had “struggled” with the task, which saw teams creating a new preschool cartoon to introduce to industry experts.

When Lord Sugar delivered his crushing final judgment and fired Gregory, he said in the courtroom: “Gregory, as you yourself admit, you had problems with the assignment. In business you have to adapt. Regretfully, Gregory, you’re fired.’

After being released in the taxi, Gregory said: “I understand that Lord Sugar fired me because he felt I was unable to adapt.

“But I am determined to prove Lord Sugar wrong and show him why I should have been his next business partner.”

Speaking to Web, Gregory apologized and explained that “the item in question was sold by a third party.

“I in no way condone this despicable and shameful part of the story and apologize for any insult caused,” Gregory said in a statement to Web.

‘My online business is an antiques marketplace that gives independent sellers a platform to sell a wide range of antiques, memorabilia and militaria from many different periods of history.’

On last week’s episode of The Apprentice, two contestants left the show, and Shannon Martin decided to end the process after realizing she “wasn’t there for the right reasons.”

After her exit, Kevin D’Arcy became the second contestant in the series to be fired by Lord Sugar after being told he was “more focused on revenue than profit” during the disastrous Bao Buns challenge.
