The eighth hopeful to be fired by boss Alan Sugar on The Apprentice is confident of a future as one of the "next big exports".
Warning: spoiler alert!
Glaswegian bridal shop owner Laura Hogg received her marching orders after Team Phoenix failed to sell more of their Hammer Horror-themed art at a London gallery.
Sugar sacked her because he said the task was very similar to her job selling wedding dresses.
After her sacking, Hogg said: "Fair enough, all valid points in the sense of the sales suffered, hands up.
"But I do disagree that it's similar to something I do as a day job. I definitely don't sell monstrosities like that. Well, I'd like to hope not!"
Hogg continued: "I am so confident in my own sales ability and I can't believe that's what sent me home."
Hogg - "I think as the night went on my confidence was dipping"
In her interview with Dara O Briain on The Apprentice: You're Fired!, Hogg said she struggled to sell the art because she could not see its appeal.
"I think as the night went on my confidence was dipping," she said.
"I knew I was behind on sales and I ultimately knew that that could be a problem.
"It's a very personal thing, art, and I think I just thought, 'I can't make somebody take this'.
"I wasn't really comfortable with forcing it on people."
Hogg, who had promised to fight "to the death" in the boardroom, admitted she had almost given up after her sales failure.
"I think you can see it all over my face to be honest with you," she said. "I think I lost that little bit of 'oomph' in me in that final boardroom. I knew I was vulnerable, I mean ultimately, I didn't do the sales did I?"
However, Hogg has recovered from the setback and predicted she is "going be one of Scotland's next big exports".
