BBC The Apprentice reject admits fellow candidate 'caught his eye'

The latest Apprentice candidate to be fired from the BBC business show has confessed to having feelings for one of his fellow competitors.

Nick Showering crashed out off the process when Lord Sugar turfed him out of the boardroom after his team's failure in a corporate awayday task at Silverstone.

And speaking to the Daily Star, the 31-year-old finance manager said a fellow candidate had 'caught his eye' - but that he was too shy to act on it.

He said: "Someone caught my eye in there but I didn't act on it." He said that they "probably had no idea" about his crush and acknowledged he is often "very shy" when it comes to romance.

He confessed: "I fancy people and I don't know what to do about it."

He further commented that the "trouble" with fancying a co-star is that candidates are "super professional" and that the show is "very strict about these kinds of things."

He hasn't given up hope about potentially dating the fellow candidate - who was not named - with him telling the Star: "Maybe they will read this!"

He was in the firing line on Thursday night along with team-mates Stephanie Affleck, Akshay Thakrar and Kathryn Louise Burn after Lord Sugar said they were all up for the boot.

And Nick was fired after surviving for eight weeks in the show.

The latest task saw the candidates having to lay on racing-themed corporate away day for their clients.

Harpreet Kaur as project manager lead Aaron Willis, Brittany Carter, and Akeem Bundu-Kamara to victory.
