Dan Callaghan is first to get fired from The Apprentice

Dan Callaghan has become the first person to be fired by Lord Sugar on the new series of The Apprentice.

The 23-year-old fragrance retailer from Manchester failed to make any sales in the first task.

Speaking afterwards he said: "Do I think I deserved to stay in the process given my abysmal selling record? No, not at all."

Lord Sugar slammed Team Connexus for making just £1.87 profit after selling"jumbo" fish cakes and tuna nicoise to City traders and commuters.

Team Versatile, headed by Selina Waterman-Smith, netted a £200.29 profit and were treated to a sushi masterclass from the head chef at restaurant Nobu.
