Viewers saw Mark crash out of the running for Lord Alan Sugar’s investment after a difficult task that saw the candidates head to Shropshire to host a live immersive experience.
After taking on the role of project manager Mark, 39, failed to impress the professionals as his team struggled to sell tickets, book entertainment, cater their event and make a profit.

After a difficult failure at the task back in the boardroom alongside Karren Brady and Tim Campbell, Lord Sugar said to Mark: “It’s never happened before to me in this process where the teams haven’t even kicked off yet and they’re already in the red. So, it is with regret, Mark, that you’re fired.”

As Mark quietly exited the boardroom after Alan pointed the finger at him when his team failed to make a profit on ticket sales for the planned meal and show, he gave one final reminder to his business mentor.
Travelling home from the boardroom Pest Control business owner Mark noted: “He would have got his money back within the first year if he’d invested in me but as long as he knows I’m the best rat catcher in town that’s the main thing.”
The firing comes after fellow Apprentice candidate Shazia Hussain reportedly made a complaint claiming that Mark had racially abused her.

The technology recruiter from London allegedly reached out to the producers of the BBC programme after being left feeling ‘distressed’ over the supposed incident.
A source told MailOnline : “Shazia was really upset by the way she was treated and at times didn’t feel safe living in the Apprentice house.
“The show casts candidates of different ethnicities and backgrounds and the expectation is for each person to respect each other, which wasn’t the case during filming of the current series.”

A spokesperson for The Apprentice said in a statement: “The Apprentice has a zero tolerance on racist bullying. The duty of care and welfare of all candidates is of utmost importance and when action is required, we take it.
“All candidates sign up to strict code of conduct and if there was evidence of racist bullying candidates would be immediately removed from the process. We take all complaints very seriously.”
The Apprentice airs Thursdays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
