Apprentice candidate Reece Donnelly says he dropped out of Apprenticeship due to health reasons

Apprentice candidate Reece Donnelly insists he left The Apprentice for health reasons after he was fined for drinking on a flight to Dubai.

Yesterday’s episode saw the cast being tasked with prepping a high-profile client in Dubai for a corporate day off, but one group was disqualified after Reece failed to comply with the rules about alertness.

Lord Sugar is ‘angry’ at the decision and ‘can’t believe someone would risk securing his £250,000 investment for just one drink,’ a TV source told MailOnline.

But the owner of the Glaswegian drama school, who was on until week six of the show, has now claimed he left voluntarily after deciding to ‘listen’ to his body.

He told virginradio.co.uk: ‘I was gutted, I think you would believe that if anyone believes I’m winning, it’s me, I’m at home. I’m not willing to back down for anything. As far as your health is concerned, I think you should just go “what’s important here?”

Apprentice candidate Reece Donnelly has been dropped from the show after drinking on a flight to Dubai, infuriating Lord Sugar

The theater school owner in Glaswegian, who took part in week six of Lord Sugar’s (pictured) process, was sent home after drinking alcohol on a plane despite applicants being required by producers to be conscious

‘That’s where the decision lies. But listen, I had a blast. I gave it my all, I’m sure you’ll agree. I don’t think there’s a mission that I wouldn’t jump right into. But it was a great experience and great fun.’

Lord Sugar is known to be a tough manager who won’t be kind to anyone who breaks the rules.

Following Reece’s departure, a TV source told MailOnline: ‘Reece has been sent home and not filmed in Dubai. The producers were unimpressed that he drank a lot of alcohol on the flight, even though he was told not to.

‘Lord Sugar is clearly so angry he can’t believe someone would risk securing his £250,000 investment just for a glass of wine. He then told the candidates in the boardroom that Reece had been dropped from the process.’

Reece was filmed as being informed by Lord Sugar via a pre-recorded video message that he would be taking a flight to Dubai with his fellow contestants.

On Thursday night’s episode, the cast was tasked with prepping a high-profile client for a corporate day but one team was dropped after Reece failed to comply with the show’s rules.

A preview clip aired on You’re Fired last week, in which the stars of the show are seen riding camels and jet skis during a business trip in the United Arab Emirates, but Reece was nowhere to be seen.

Back in the boardroom, Lord Sugar addressed Reece’s sudden departure, saying: ‘So as you know, Reece was unable to participate in the mission and subsequently left the process.’

One candidate remains under fire for the fifth season of the BBC series, meaning two business hopes are gone by the end of Friday.

A spokesperson for Apprentice said: ‘Reece is unable to continue this process, which has been discussed and agreed upon between Reece and the program people.’

Bridal shop owner Shannon Martin also pulled out of the show in the second episode after deciding it wasn’t the right move for her.

Reece narrowly avoided being fired in the boardroom last week after placing himself in the bottom three alongside Mark Moseley and firing Denisha Kaur Bharj

This year’s series saw contestants compete in challenges under the supervision of Lord Sugar’s assistants Karren Brady and Tim Campbell.

So far, the candidates are lacking in business acumen, with Lord Sugar accusing the group of being ‘desperate’, ‘disappointing’ and ‘devil’ in recent weeks.

Shazia Hussain is the latest candidate to come under fire after her team failed to impress with their e-bike ad.

Avi Sharma and Bradley Johnson almost got arrested after tense scenes in the conference room.

Reece avoided the cutthroat last week after making the final three alongside Mark Moseley, who is still in the process and fired Denisha Kaur Bharj.

The current series begins with the contenders flying to Antigua in the Caribbean after the producers said they could invest more money on missions abroad after years of the pandemic limiting options. their.
