Breffny 'over Ger and makes up with Aoiffe'
Tuesday 17 November 2009
In one of the most high profile romances in the TV3 show so far, Harvard graduate Breffny coupled up with Geraldine O'Callaghan.
However, the relationship turned sour when as project manager on last night's task, Geraldine pulled Breffny off the sales pitch for Breathe Easy nasal strips.
The Evening Hearld quotes him as saying: "I wouldn't say it was malicious, but you don't go ahead and take away your team member's confidence," Breffny said about the task which culminated in his firing.
Bill Cullen criticised Breffny for having a "lack of integrity" for standing back while Geraldine made a sale but put it in his book.
Breffny, who has never had a job before, said that he has learned valuable lessons from this task and also his time on the show.
"I've learned to leave your friendships and relationships at the door when you take on business tasks and to keep your head up and not let a bunch of 'no's get to you," he said.
'The Apprentice' couple have gone their separate ways since the show, despite going on one black tie event date together.
"We're on good terms, we're friends. As critical as I am with Ger, we got over things and have moved on," he said. "We met up but we weren't rekindling any flames."
And he said that he struck up an unlikely friendship with the Aoiffe Madden after the show but refused to divulge any further information.
"No one would have guessed it," he said. "We're great buddies. But we are just buddies. We kissed and made up, but that is just a phrase, we only kissed on the cheek."
