THE Apprentice stars let loose last night away from the boardroom on a boozy night out in London.

They swapped their suits for jeans and leather trousers as they watched the latest episode inside Fulham’s Kona Kai venue.

Drinks were free-flowing as Nick Showering, Katherine Louise Burn, Harpreet Kaur, Brittney Carter, Alex Short and Stephanie Affleck and Akshay Tharar shared lots of laughs.

Nick, 31, looked worlds apart from his on show self, wearing a cap, white trainers and a navy jacket.

He wrapped an arm around Brittany as he drank a pint of beer and roared with laughter while holding a cigarette.

Stephanie looked a little worse for wear at the end of the night as she and Nick had a tense exchange before crossing the road looking downbeat.

Last night Lord Sugar fired Nick after Team Diverse were soundly beaten in a motor racing inspired task.

Lord Sugar said he’d failed to make an impression in the series, but fans at home strongly disagreed.

They started rumours he was an undercover comedian on the show, but he has now insisted he wasn’t.

Nick addressed the rumours and said: “I don’t know whether it’s a diss or a compliment but I am sort of going with a compliment.

“Lord Sugar does not have a third aide.

“It’s a shock as I would never describe myself as a funny person ever.

“I remember in the application I said I’m not that funny but I’m quite fun.

“It’s actually been a massive compliment that people seem to be enjoying watching me. That’s been quite nice to know.”

Events manager and Nick’s team’s leader Stephanie was slammed for her attempt to put on a race-themed corporate away day at Silverstone.

Akshay and Nick, who were in charge of hospitality on the sub team,
failed to deliver a luxury meal.

Nick gesê: “When we lost the task, Ek dink, ‘Okay, I’m in a bit of trouble because in the previous episode, the pod one, I almost got on the wrong end of a double firing’.

“And I knew then ‘if I don’t win the next task, I could be in huge trouble’.

“I was going to put myself forward as PM, but Steph obviously was in hospitality so I couldn’t really go for it. So I just had to hope that we won.”

Hy gaan voort: “When we lost. Ek dink, ‘well, I’ve kind of messed up a bit in the kitchen. I’ve been really late with the lunch. I might not have sort of contributed enough. So I could be in real trouble.'”

Nick’s gut feeling was right and Lord Sugar, 74, gave him the sharp end of his tongue before pointing the dreaded firing finger at him.
