AXED The Apprentice star Nadia Suliaman has taken a thinly-veiled swipe at the BBC following her show exit after criticising the edit of the series.
Nadia, a Knightsbridge hair salon owner, suggested that show bosses had carved out a certain narrative for her exit episode as a result of her being fired.
In the latest episode of the BBC soap, Lord Sugar wasted no time in axing Nadia from the process after insisting that the failure of the task lied solely with her.
The business mogul refused the chance to hear Nadia out in the boardroom and instead opted to instantly fire her and confessed it was an easy decision.
Whilst Nadia accepted the judgement from Lord Sugar, she has now taken a swipe at show bosses for editing out certain scenes from her final episode.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun following her show exit, Nadia said: “There was so many positive things that did happen in that episode and my wish is that they had been shown.
“I do feel on this [episode], the editing is particularly bad.
“It is edited quite bad because there’s a lot of it that makes it look like I’m just completely wrong.
“There were so many scenes where things did go well like the way the kitchen was run – we had a really good station and a really good work process.”
Nadia singled out a specific scene in which she claims that Kier had been badgering her with questions including how to put a tray of sausages in the oven and where best to put a towel down for approximately 30 minutes.
In the end, Nadia turned around and told him it was all “common sense”.
However, this footage was chopped with just Nadia’s “common sense” comment used without the correct context of why she was saying it.

“I’m gutted because I wish they had shown the whole thing.
“It would have given people a bit more context and allowed them to say ‘I could understand why she’s coming to him’ as it was common sense.”

A clip from Nadia in the programme’s third episode saw her attempt to haggle the price of a sheep’s coat down from the suggested £20 to a mere £1.50.
The moment trended online on Twitter and TikTok with Nadia revealing she’d enjoyed a giggle at the funny memes.
She further admitted she was pleased she had become a memorable candidate off the back of the show revealing that was just as important to her as showcasing her business acumen.
Nadia said: “I would have been absolutely gutted if I was going out on week 4 and people didn’t even know my name.
“You’ve got to put yourself forward in these scenarios and when we first went into episode 1, the production team came up and said look,don’t hold back, be you and put yourself out there.
“They never needed to tell me that because I was always going to be that person.
“I know myself, I’m never going to just blend in the background, it’s not my nature, it’s not being true to myself.”
Nadia now has hopes to further her TV career as well as expanding her chain of five hair salons, many of which welcome A-list celebrities, millionaires and billionaires.
She will soon be launching a product range to accompany her salons as well as stepping into the Middle Eastern market with a flagship store.
