ASPIRING businessman Scott McCulloch has been fired by Lord Sugar.

The East Kilbride hopeful was sent packing from The Apprentice alongside another candidate who went before he even made it to the boardroom showdown, a first for the show.

Marketing manager and aspiring luxury fashion retailer Robert Goodwin was told "you're fired" before his project manager Mr McCulloch even got the chance to bring him back into the boardroom to fight for his place in the show. And after that sacking McCulloch too was brought back to justify his own position, with Lord Sugar sending him packing. He led the men's team in a task to create an item of wearable technology but they lost when they failed to pick up any orders, against the women's team who had 250 orders for their solar-panelled jacket.
