I feel like that\u2019s done before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lord Sugar then responded: \u201cBut Noor it is a vehicle. Surely you\u2019d want to see it driving somewhere. It may as well just be a stall in a market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After watching the advert in the boardroom, Noor said it was \u201cvery good\u201d, but Lord Sugar wasn\u2019t convinced and asked: \u201cWhat\u2019s good about it?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not straight to the point. It\u2019s a 30 second advert, 15 seconds of which are a couple of girls sitting on a bench. What\u2019s that got to do with a vehicle?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The video] wasted the first 15 seconds with the girls chatting,\u201d the experts reported back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/josh-must-win-something-new-vicky-pattison-newsupdate\/\">Vicky Pattison: \u2018Reality TV is ready for something new \u2013 Josh Must Win\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/levi-roots-celebrity-big-brother-divide-newsupdate\/\">Levi Roots: \u2018There was a clear divide in Celebrity Big Brother house\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As Noor returned to the boardroom with Tre and Rachel, her time was up, as Lord Sugar made the decision to fire her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lord Sugar said: \u201cI\u2019m frustrated, Noor, that you don\u2019t understand how you\u2019ve messed this thing up.

It was a terrible, terrible advert and I\u2019m afraid to say it is with regret, Noor, that you\u2019re fired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While in the taxi home, Noor said: \u201cI\u2019m grateful to have met amazing people and to have shown just a small percentage of what an amazing businesswoman that I am.
