I\u2019d say she\u2019s all about women empowerment. She\u2019s got the nicest heart anyone could ever imagine. And she\u2019s taught me so many skills as well, especially cooking because she taught me how to make a chicken curry and everyone enjoyed it.\u201d<\/p> <p>He added: \u201cShe\u2019s a lovely soul and she\u2019s been nothing but inspirational.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t ever imagine me and Shama being in the boardroom where we have to go against each other, because I couldn\u2019t do it, personally, because I\u2019m not a person to throw people under the bus just for money. So I\u2019ve got lots of respect for her and I hope obviously she gets well really soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about her exit, Shama explained, \u201cThere was a real build up to how bad I was feeling physically. The days are long but in task one, I was fine. At home, if my body needs to rest, I just know, I can put my feet up and rest. But obviously, I couldn\u2019t do that in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was in task two where the swelling started to get worse, but I didn\u2019t want to have to leave halfway through the task. I was determined to get through it, and I did. We then had a day off and I was struggling to get my shoes on and knew I was going to have to make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though she revealed it wasn\u2019t an easy decision, she said that \u201cnot once did anyone ever make me feel guilty. Production offered me everything I could have asked for to help keep me in but always supported that it had to be my decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Grace Henry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Apprentice continues on BBC One at 9pm on Thursday 27th January.
