Pamela made it to the final three during her time competing on The Apprentice.

She facing questioning from Lord Sugar’s trusted associates in the infamous Interviews stage.

Pamela fell short of winning the coveted cash injection for her business.

Lord Sugar “fired” her after finding concerns with her business proposal.

Speaking to The Independent after her axing, Pamela addressed the reasons behind her exit.

She said: “It definitely came across that it was my lack of product availability for my brand Moxi Loves.

“But I think it also has to do with with businesses he feels he can make a difference in – Scarlett’s is recruitment, Carina’s is bakery – and they might just be particularly more interesting industries for him.”

Viewers saw Carina Lepore ultimately named as the winner for that year.

The Apprentice continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
