The very first candidate was fired this week on The Apprentice<\/a> after one team\u2019s corporate away day led to the clients wanting refunds.<\/p>\n

For this week\u2019s task, the candidates were tasked with putting on a corporate away day in the Scottish Highlands, with the men and women split up in the hopes of making a profit.<\/p>\n

However, it was Virdi Singh Mazaria<\/a>\u2018s team that failed, resulting in their clients refunding over 50 per cent of their expenditure. Lord Sugar was less than impressed and Virdi had to make the tough decision to bring two candidates back into the boardroom.<\/p>\n

So, who left The Apprentice this week? Read on to find out who was fired this week.<\/p>

Oliver Medforth became the first contestant to be fired from The Apprentice, after the boys lost the first task for season 18.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> about his departure from the show, Medforth said: \u201cI think it was quite a tactical play of [Virdi] to invite me in really.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t speak up much throughout the time that I was on there [and] that\u2019s probably why [he thought], \u2018I should bring him back in.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he did, and Lord Sugar should have fired me and I respect him for that. And that\u2019s just the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

If he could change how he did things on the show, Medforth said that he probably would have spoken up more.<\/p>\n

He told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cI didn\u2019t put myself on the right team \u2013 I should have been on the hosting side, I shouldn\u2019t have been in the kitchen, clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n
