The Apprentice Lives!
The sole Northern Ireland representative on TV's reality show, the Apprentice, Ben Clarke has lived to fight another day.
He just avoided being booted-off by Sir Alan Sugar.
The trainee Belfast stockbroker was on the losing team this week, and only just made it through to the next round of the gruelling 'job interview from hell', but his team-mate Rocky Andrews was not so lucky.
Sandwich chain boss Rocky was given the chop after a catering task where his team walked away with a £160 loss.
Ben just avoided being carpeted in the boardroom at the end of the show having earlier lambasted another fellow contestant James McQuillan for his "big gob".
