A contestant who was told "You're fired!" on The Apprentice has had her home destroyed in a blaze.

Nargis Ara, the second participant to be axed from the BBC Two show, is devastated because she had forgotten to renew the contents insurance for her flat.

A source told The Sun, "Nargis is devastated but all she can think is that at least her son is alive. She was in tears because she lost all her possessions in the fire. The worst thing is she forgot to renew her home insurance."
