The Apprentice candidate Shama Amin has reportedly quit the show due to concerns over a health condition.
The children’s day nursery owner, who has described herself as one of the most “successful businesswomen in the early years sector”, will formally withdraw from the process in this week’s episode (according to The Daily Star).
She is set to explain to Lord Sugar that she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joints, which has made the physical aspects of the reality show a serious challenge.
She adds that while the team behind The Apprentice has made “efforts” to support her through the process, she has nevertheless made the “difficult decision” to leave the current season.
