Nicholas gets 'Apprentice' axe

Published Thursday, Mar 27 2008, 09:59 GMT | By Beth Hilton
Trainee lawyer Nicholas de Lacy Brown has become the first contestant to be eliminated from the new series of The Apprentice.

The 23-year-old Londoner said he had decided to stick to his original ambition of being a lawyer after his experience on the show.

De Lacy Brown failed to impress Sir Alan Sugar when he became embroiled in a row about the price of lobster when the 16 candidates were asked to sell fresh fish at a market for their first task.

While facing team leader Alex Wotherspoon and entrepreneur Raef Bjayou in the boardroom, he annoyed Sir Alan by complaining that the boys' team was split along lines of the educated and uneducated.

Sir Alan took offence to the remark and told him: "You're fired!"

De Lacy Brown said he felt like a "fish out of water" on the BBC1 show and tipped retail buyer Claire Young to walk away with the prize.

He will begin his pupillage with a law firm later this year.
