The Apprentice's Ben Clarke has already been fired from his existing job after revealing to bosses that he was going on the show, according to reports.
The Sun claims that Belfast-born Clarke was booted out of investment bank Brewer Dolphin after asking for time off to take part.
And a former colleague said: "Ben has the biggest head in the world. As soon as he knew he had been selected to audition, he became unbearable.
He kept saying, 'I’m leaving you losers and going to win The Apprentice.' We all laughed — until we realised he was serious.
He added "Then the bosses found out — and he was sent packing."
