The trainee stars dress up as they enjoy a night out in Liverpool for Victoria’s birthday.

The trainee candidates enjoyed a night out in Liverpool on Saturday when they got together to celebrate fellow contestant Victoria Goulbourne’s birthday.

Performing on the 17th edition of Lord Sugar’s show, the 2023 cast swapped out their work clothes for stunning cropped tops as they toured the city.

Notably absent was Gregory Ebbs, who became the third candidate to be fired on The Apprentice this week.

Leading the way was Rochelle Anthony, the so-called ‘Kim Kardashian of the business world’.

Rochelle looked chic as she donned an oversized T-shirt and knee-high black leather boots for a night out.

Holding her hand was birthday girl Victoria, who looked stunning in a shiny black gown.

Far from boardroom ready, the former flight attendant added inches to her gorgeous body with a pair of black heels and went out of her way for the occasion with a stunning makeup palette.

Birthday Girl: Far from boardroom ready, Victoria added inches to her gorgeous body with a pair of black heels and went out of her way for the occasion with a stunning makeup palette.

Victoria owns an online sweets business in Merseyside, which she started in lockdown and has since become a hit on social media.

Third in line was Shannon Martin, who in the second episode of the series opted out of the show after deciding she “loved” her business and “didn’t need a partner”.

The bridal boutique owner went for a busty display in a bright blue gown for the occasion.

Bradley rocked a beige blazer and a black turtleneck for the night.

Reece looked just as suave when she donned an all-black outfit and contrasted the look with a white v-neck.

Ready for the party! There was also Marnie Swindles, who donned a sheer silk dress.

The antiques market owner was sacked on Thursday’s episode after Lord Sugar said he “struggled” with the assignment, in which teams created a new preschool cartoon to present to industry experts.

It comes just days after Gregory was forced to apologize after it was revealed that his online marketplace ‘ebay for antiques’ stocked Nazi memorabilia.

Up for the challenge: This year’s field started with nine men and nine women who will do everything they can to impress Lord Sugar and his advisers Baroness Karren Brady, Tim Campbell and Claude Littner.

When Lord Sugar delivered his final damning verdict and dismissed Gregory, he said in the boardroom: ‘Gregory, by your own admission, you had problems with the assignment. In business you have to adapt. It is with regret, Gregory, that you are fired.

Speaking in the taxi after his dismissal, Gregory said: “I understand that Lord Sugar dismissed me because he felt I couldn’t adapt.

“However, I am determined to prove Lord Sugar wrong and show him why he should have been his next business partner.”

Tough: Antiques market owner fired on Thursday’s episode after Lord Sugar said he ‘struggled’ with the task

This week’s assignment saw the remaining 15 candidates tasked with creating their own cartoons for children ages two to four, which could be pitched to industry experts.

Earlier this week, Gregory was forced to apologize after his online marketplace ‘ebay for antiques’ was revealed to be stocking Nazi memorabilia.

Candidate Ebbs’ Raven Yard Antiques business has come under fire from Jewish groups who accused him of selling controversial artifacts to “sick collectors”.

Controversy: Earlier this week, Gregory was forced to apologize after his online marketplace ‘ebay for antiques’ was revealed to be stocking Nazi memorabilia.

Speaking to MailOnline, Gregory apologized, explaining that “the item in question was sold by a third party.”

“I in no way condone or wish to seek to celebrate this abominable and shameful part of history and I apologize for any offense caused,” Gregory said in a statement to MailOnline.

“My online business is an antiques marketplace where independent sellers have a platform to sell a wide range of antiques, memorabilia, and the military from different periods of history.

“

Hard: When Lord Sugar delivered his final damning verdict and dismissed Gregory, he said in the boardroom, “Gregory, by your own admission, you had trouble with the assignment.”

Reflection: Speaking in the taxi after his dismissal, Gregory said: ‘I understand that Lord Sugar dismissed me because he felt I couldn’t adapt’

‘The item in question was sold by a third party. This type of memorabilia is not something that he would personally sell or store. The website is relatively new and I will be looking to implement more stringent vetting procedures for third party vendors.

The businessman, who is also Jewish, had become a fan favorite since the show’s launch earlier this month with many saying he was their first favorite to win.

On last week’s episode of The Apprentice, two candidates left the show, with Shannon Martin deciding to leave the process after realizing she wasn’t “in it for the right reasons.”

After his exit, Kevin D’Arcy became the second candidate in the series to be fired by Lord Sugar, after being told he was “more focused on revenue than profit” during the disastrous Bao Buns challenge.

Task: This week’s task saw the remaining 15 candidates tasked with creating their own cartoons for children ages two to four, which could be pitched to industry experts.

Undeliverable: Gregory was part of the losing team this week
