Irish Apprentice star a pure tonic after gin session

The remaining Irish Apprentice star, Gráinne McCoy, got a bit too enthusiastic on last night's drinks based challenge and ended up quite tipsy as she and a team mate sample some gin.

Project manager Gráinne and Trishna get quite carried away as they sampled the wares while creating a brand of gin.

A tasting session was laid on so they could perfect their chosen tipple, however the duo ended up downing the gin instead of giving it a generous swirl in their mouths.

Yeah yeah where's the booze wonder Grainne and Trishna

The pair were seen in a fit of giggles and after stumbling over her words, a worse for wear Grainne admitted that “I have to stop drinking this.” Cue plenty of eye rolling from Karen Brady who is watching their antics.

Such was their enthusiasm for the samples that they end up missing nineteen calls from beleaguered team mate Frances who was trying to design the label for the bottle and discover the elusive ingredients.

After their tasting session, Grainne confessed that “There was a lot of alcohol consumed. I think I just need to sleep now.”

After their coloured (yes coloured) Colony Gin failed to impress the retailers they pitched had to, all three team mates were hauled back into the boardroom where the naughty pair were reprimanded by Karen Brady who told Lord Sugar that they "were getting p***ed in the distillery.”

Despite criticism of her project management skills, Grainne survived and the Newry woman is now in the final five who next week face the wrath of Claude Litner and other assorted HR henchmen who will pick apart their business plans, CVS and souls (probably).
