The latest candidate fired by Lord Sugar on 'The Apprentice' claims he lost out on the job as he was not as experienced in business as some of his rivals.
Dr Shibby Robati was fired last night after team Apollo, which he was leading, lost a baking task.
The 27-year-old surgeon was critical of team-mate Paloma Vivanco for making "rookie mistakes" and having "zero business experience".
Team Apollo made £194 less profit than the rival team, partly due to Robati paying compensation to a hotelier when he failed to deliver the full order of bread rolls they had agreed.
He said: "I do feel that my business acumen wasn't as experienced as the others. You don't get on to a show like this having no business experience. I set up two companies just over a year ago. You don't do that with no business experience, so I've got to have something there.
"Of course I'm not as business savvy as the others, but I know how to make money. The end result is what's on your bank statement."
The team failed after they committed to making an impossible order to a large London hotel. Robati admitted he had no experience at pitching, and that he was intimidated by female colleagues Vivanco and Laura Moore into overestimating what they could produce.
He said: "The thing is those two girls, I did feel slightly intimidated by them because they had experience in pitching. The only thing I've ever pitched before is a tent. This was their area of expertise so I'd have liked to have thought that they'd have known how to have dealt with those pitches and make sure that they don't over order."
Robati said: "I got fired because I wasn't as firm as I should have been managing the group. I gave compensation to the hotelier. In hindsight, what I should have done was just apologise and not offer the compensation."
