Aussie 'Celebrity Apprentice' eliminates second star

Polly Porter has been fired from The Celebrity Apprentice Australia.

The reality television star, who was taking part in the show helmed by Mark Bouris alongside celebrities such as Pauline Hanson, Wendell Sailor, Max Markson and Deni Hines, was fired by the boss. Her team had failed to raise funds during a KFC challenge earlier this week.

Team Ignite's leader Hanson was asked to nominated two team members to bring into the boardroom with her and she opted for singer Hines and Porter.

Hanson slammed Porter for not making "an effort" to build up her contact book in order to raise more money, while she accused Hines of not being a "team performer".

Bouris told Hanson that she had "failed to deliver" as a project manager, but praised her for her work ethic, referring to her as a true "Aussie battler". He berated Hines for criticising her fellow contestants and told her she needed to put "personal prejudices aside" for the good of the team.

He then told Porter that she "didn't access people well" as a celebrity, and fired her from The Celebrity Apprentice.

Porter later said: "I brought game and I worked as hard as I could. I really thought that I had earned my place here. I just think I was an easy target from day one.

"I think they were slightly threatened [by] the fact that I knew the whole reality game. I'm angry that I haven't done more for my charity as that was the reason I [was] here."

Sports star Warwick Capper became the first contestant to be eliminated from The Celebrity Apprentice earlier this week.
