THE Apprentice star Brittany Carter broke down in tears after a brutal interview in the semi-final.
The 25-year-old was overcome with emotion and had to be handed a tissue by businessman Mike Soutar.
But after returning to her co-stars she bizarrely LIED about what had happened during the grilling.
Brittany told the all-female semi-finalists: “I cried in the lift.
“You know when you get out and you’re like ‘oh god’.
“He said it tasted horrible even though I think it tastes nice.
“It wasn’t even that bad but you know when you come out and there’s just that release.”
Brittany then insisted she “kept it together” during the interview – but had actually sobbed in front of the interviewer.
One viewer said: “Brittany just lied about crying in the lift, seemingly forgetting she is on national television and everyone can see she cried in the meeting.”
Someone else added: “Brittany lied, you cried in the interview, not after lol.”
Brittany was among four candidates left in the competition, all hoping to score that partnership with Lord Alan Sugar, and scoop the cash prize of £250,000.
She made it to the semi-final alongside Harpreet Kaur, Kathryn Louise Burn and Stephanie Affleck.
They were quizzed by Mike, Claude Littner, Claudine Collins and Linda Plant on their business plans in the savage interviews’ week.
But she was given the boot “with regret” by Lord Sugar, followed by Stephanie.
Both of the businesswomen broke down in tears during the penultimate episode.
Stephanie became overwhelmed as she was asked how her dad would feel about winning The Apprentice.
The final episode of The Apprentice will air on Thursday, March 24, 2022.
