Yasmina shocked by Apprentice win
Monday 8 June 2009
Siadatan made her comments on BBC Radio One's 'Newsbeat'.
She said: "When you're in the boardroom and you have done everything in your power to get to where you are and you're sat next to a contender like Kate, you literally just turn your head to the sky and start praying.
"That's the only thing to do in a situation like that and then luckily those crisp words came pointing my way, 'You're hired' and it was like, 'Yes! Thank you God'. It was brilliant."
She added: "Even when you're in the boardroom you're like, 'I haven't got it, I haven't got it'. And then he tells you. It was a real shock to me. I was really surprised."
In the final episode, the finalists were given a task to create a new brand of chocolates which they had to pitch to a roomful of industry experts.
Ms Walsh and her team, which was made up of former contestants Debra Barr, Ben Clarke, Kimberley Davis and Rocky Andrews, designed a box of chocolates for couples. Their box was made up of three 'shelves' - one for her, one for him, and one to share. The concept was praised by Sir Alan but he said charging £13 for a box was not commercially viable.
Ms Siadatan's team, made up of Howard Ebison, Philip Taylor, James McQuillan and Lorraine Tighe, created a brand called 'Cocoa Electric' which was designed to 'shock' with flavours such as basil and strawberry, and popping candy chilli.
Sir Alan told her the branding and pricing were excellent but the taste - which even caused one model to spit out a chocolate after filming the advert - needed work.
