Irish Apprentice star reveals real reason she thinks she was kicked off the show
'I can talk about it now - it's hell,' she said
Former The Apprentice star Maura Rath has said she believes she didn’t win the show because she wasn’t liked by one of Alan Sugar's advisors.
The Wexford yoga teacher described the BBC show as "hell" months after appearing on it.
She told The Irish Mirror: "I can talk about it now - it's hell.

"To be honest I am very competitive. People don't see that side of me, they see a zen yoga side of me.
"I put my mind to it and at one stage I actually thought I could win this but do you know what, you have to play a little bit of a game and it got to a stage where I was like 'it's gone a little bit too far for me'.
"I just went out with my head held high."
But Maura believes she was fired because Alan Sugar’s advisor Karren Brady didn’t like her.
She told us: "I actually think Alan liked me. Me and Alan got on well. He liked my honesty. Karren was the problem.
"Karren was a 'Karen'. So Karren and me didn't really see eye to eye and I think that is why I went.
"There was so much that wasn't shown."
She said she gets PTSD when she hears or sees anything about the show.
"I get PTSD more than tingles.
"Even just this summer went by, I knew they were all filming and I thought 'I wonder what they are up to, I wonder are they hungry and tired'."
But Maura said that since the show aired, her Yoga With Maura business has been thriving.
She said: "It's been really good now this year. The business has been flourishing.
"Absolutely. To be honest I didn't even think of that when I applied for the show. I just needed investment. Obviously, I didn't win but being on the show for 10 weeks definitely has been great for my profile. It's been positive."
Asked what advice she would give to anyone Irish going on the show, she said: "Every year they have a token paddy so if you've got an idea and you're passionate, I think they will like you," she added.
