Lindi 'to make a fortune'

Another week, another "furious" Apprentice reject. But Lindi Mngaza, who got booted off the show after slipping up in last night's ice cream selling task, says she's going to go on and coin it.

“I just want to make a lot of money in whatever I want to do," said the 22-year-old. "I’m a princess, so I want to live up to that and have a lot of success.”

She may be taking it on the chin, but Lindi says she still couldn't believe it when Sir Alan Sugar fired her. "I did not get a chance to be project manager and I did not get the chance to showcase my skills," she said. "I thought I was going to win and this has happened. I was very shocked, stunned."

Sir Alan's right hand man Nick Hewer, 64, claimed that the young hopeful flirted with him. "She tried flashing her eyes and teeth at me," he said earlier in the week. "But she does have a bubbly personality."

In response, Lindi shrugged: "It was worth a try wasn't it?" She denies being the maneater some papers have described her as.

And finally, does the businesswoman have any kind words for competitor and project leader Lucinda Ledgerwood, who seemed apologetic for bringing her back into the boardroom to face Sir Alan?

"Lucinda is an absolute witch, creating arguments with Jen, Helene and Jenny," she said, adding sarcastically, "I am going to get some fashion tips from Lucinda."

That's a no, then.
