We are now at the half-way stage of this year's series of The Apprentice, with Lord Alan Sugar looking to find his next business partner in the process. Following Wednesday night's roller-coaster task, it was poor Iasha Masood who was fired in the boardroom, with both Dean Ahmad and Lottie Lion being given their final warnings.

Now, following her sacking earlier this week, Iasha has revealed that she struggled in the house, admitting she 'felt low' at times during the process.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Iasha revealed one of the rules of the show means contestants can't spend time on their own in the lavish house.

She told the publication, "In the house, it was a different environment from what I’m used to and you’re plucked away from your life. I live on my own and it gives me time to recharge and being in The Apprentice process you’re not allowed to be on your own in the house for fairness reasons and you can’t really spend any time to yourself, so it was stressful that I couldn’t recharge."

Check out all of this year's candidates on The Apprentice:
