The latest contestant to receive their marching orders from Alan Sugar on The Apprentice has been told that their "best hope for £250,000 is to buy yourself a scratch card".

Warning: spoiler alert!

It was a case of fudge, jury and executioner for Team Nebula project manager Oliver Nohl-Oser as he became the third contestant to be fired from the BBC show.

With the contestants tasked with making sweets and selling them to the public in Brighton, sausage company founder Nohl-Oser decided to produce salt and vinegar fudge. His pricing strategy also left a bad taste in Sugar's mouth. 

Nebula made a profit of £615.08 while rival team Titan's strawberry champagne-flavoured sweets made £785.66.

While Sugar delivered one of the lines of the series with his scratch card send-off, Nohl-Oser said that he still considers himself a natural leader.

"Maybe not with other people, though, because there will always be crossed wires. But in my own industry, yes," he said. 

"I'm really in a good place," he added. "Of course it would have been nice to get to the final, but just being on the show, I really must congratulate myself for getting on with the thousands of people who apply."
