The Apprentice's Ryan-Mark Parsons taken to hospital following caviar incident

This sounds painful!

Author: Alex RossPublished 2nd Dec 2019

He's been one of the most-talked about contestants on this year's series of The Apprentice, with his love of luxury products and hilarious comments, so fans of the show were gutted when 19-year-old Ryan-Mark Parsons was fired by Lord Alan Sugar earlier in the series.

However, getting the boot from the BBC series is the least of Ryan-Mark's worries, as he was recently rushed to hospital when he dropped £1,000 worth of caviar on his foot!

Ryan-Mark, who was the youngest ever contestant to appear on the popular show, has been left needing an operation after the unfortunate incident.

One of Ryan-Mark's close friends revealed the news to the Daily Mirror, admitting The Apprentice star dropped the thick glass jar of caviar from a height onto his big toe. He told the publication, "Ryan-Mark was rushed to hospital yesterday after dropping a jar of caviar on his foot."

He went on to say, "It was only a little jar but it was made of thick glass and fell from a real height. He literally couldn't walk and blood was everywhere."

Ouch - Sounds nasty! 😱

After getting sacked, Ryan-Mark told the Mail Online that he was actually about to quit the show, just hours before finding out his team had lost the task. He told them, "I spoke with producers because I wanted to quit and I was seriously going to do that before we found out we had lost.

"It wasn't the pressure but just the fact it was a luxury task and that's what I do and what I'm about, I knew the food intolerance would be brought up and the fact that I have a nut allergy and I was embarrassed."

Meanwhile, in other news about The Apprentice, only six candidates remain after both Thomas Skinner and Marianne Rawlins were sacked following Wednesday night's music task.

The Apprentice continues Wednesday at 9pm.
