Failed Apprentice late for interview

If Simon Smith was unhappy to be fired by Sir Alan Sugar, then it was nothing to the disappointment of Christian O'Connell this morning when the latest contestant to exit The Apprentice turned up late for his interview on the Virgin Radio breakfast show. Not only that, he appeared on rival London station Heart first. As you can hear, O'Connell was so angry he decided not to interview him at all, and gave the proverbial both barrels to a PR from the show - identified only as "Emma" - on air. "We haven't got time now Emma, you've missed your slot. This is Christian live on air. We arranged to do it at five past eight. I've been plugging this show for years. It's late, it's shabby, and Heart are getting it before me. No way. It's over." So will O'Connell never mention the show on air again? Find out in next week's Appr... sorry, Virgin Radio breakfast show.
