Trained actress Felicity Jackson made her exit from The Apprentice last night.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old, who runs a careers service for actors, was given a critical panning by Lord Sugar after her performance in the boardroom.<\/p>\n

She was axed after ugly scenes with her rivals at the end of the show following a beauty task which went horribly wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Fired:<\/p>\n

Fired: Felicity Jackson is the first female to be ousted from The Apprentice this season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jackson, who the first female contestant to be shown the door this series, said she believes a woman will win this year\u2019s series.<\/p>\n

The rival teams were set the task of picking and mastering two beauty treatments, then selling them on to shoppers in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Felicity’s Team Logic suffered an early setback when they lost out on a spray tan treatment to Zoe’s Team Venture, who had reacted far more enthusiastically to the product.<\/p>\n

\"Boardroom<\/p>\n

Boardroom bickering: The 24-year-old fought it out with rival Ellie Reed and Natasha Scribbins<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"'Personable<\/p>\n

‘Personable but not business minded’: Lord Sugar said he could ‘never’ go into business with Miss Jackson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After losing out on the treatment to Team Venture, Jackson\u2019s Team Logic settled for flogging trendy hair accessories and a \u2018hot shell\u2019 massage treatment.<\/p>\n

Zoe clashed with Susan Ma over the number of spray tan products the team could sell every hour. Susan, the self-styled beauty guru, estimated they would sell six an hour, but soon found herself struggling to move even half that.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, their team’s efforts easily eclipsed Team Logic.<\/p>\n

\"Grit<\/p>\n

Grit your teeth and bear it: The contestants tried out several beauty treatments for a salon task<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Salon<\/p>\n

Salon business: The teams selected two beauty treatments to sell and perform on customers in Birmingham<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jackson came under fire from Lord Sugar for focusing on selling products instead of treatments.<\/p>\n

Her team ended up with a loss of \u00a3247 while Venture, who opted for cold stone pedicures along with the spray tans, made \u00a3203 profit.<\/p>\n

‘You started at 11am and the first treatment wasn’t implemented until 3.30pm. What happened?’ Lord Sugar questioned Miss Jackson in the boardroom.<\/p>\n

‘Unbelievable. Every single one of you should have said, “What is going on here?”‘<\/p>\n

\"Career<\/p>\n

Career change? The boys got into the spray tan task<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Skills:<\/p>\n

Skills: Zoe’s Team Venture excelled with their spray tan and pedicure treatments, making a \u00a3203 profit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘I’ve repeatedly stated that this task is all about the treatments. But you ended up spending \u00a3800 on products.’<\/p>\n

Jackson laid much of the blame for her team’s poor results on rival Ellie Reed, immediately picking Reed to bring back into the boardroom with her.<\/p>\n

After struggling to decide on the second colleague, Jackson opted for Natasha Scribbins – who, with Ellie, promptly laid\u00a0 the blame on her.<\/p>\n

They claimed she had bought too many beauty products and offered too many free treatments.<\/p>\n

\"Mistakes:<\/p>\n

Mistakes: Felicity’s team over-bought on their products, and ended up with a \u00a3247 loss<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘She had enthusiasm, she had passion but there was a lack of strategy,’ Natasha told the board.<\/p>\n

Felicity became defensive, snapping to both of her colleagues: ‘You’re both just saying that because I’ve brought you in.’<\/p>\n

Ellie and Felicity descended into bickering with Felicity telling her: ‘You’re not a team player and you haven’t been in any of the tasks I’ve worked with you on.’<\/p>\n

‘You gave no help throughout the pitches, you spent more time moaning than actually doing the job.’<\/p>\n

Lord sugar was not impressed with Miss Reed’s apparent lack of drive. ‘What kind of business person spends three house sitting around wondering what’s going on?’ he asked.<\/p>\n

\"Fighting:<\/p>\n

Fighting: Felicity fell out with members of her team in the boardroom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘I can’t come to terms with the fact you sat up in that room for three house. if it were me I’d be down there shaking my colleagues.’<\/p>\n

But Ellie put in a good fight, arguing that Felicity’s lack of understanding over the numbers was their downfall.<\/p>\n

‘Lord Sugar do you really want to go into business with someone who doesn’t understand mark ups and figures and can’t make the calculations?’ Ellie challenged.<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/p>\n

Not impressed: Alan Sugar told Miss Jackson that her task had been ‘disastrous’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Firing the project manager, Lord Sugar told her: \u2018This was a disastrous task and a lot of decisions weren\u2019t really made.\u2019<\/p>\n

After the tense showdown the three women left the building without a handshake – but Jackson, from Enfield, north London, insisted the less than fond farewell\u00a0 \u2018really wasn\u2019t a big deal\u2019.<\/p>\n

‘They stabbed me in the back and said I was a bad project manager minutes after they said the opposite about me,’ she complained.<\/p>\n

The fired hopeful – who is now backing youth organisation-founder Melody Hossaini to win the series – found her acting skills didn\u2019t help her during her final moments on the show.<\/p>\n
