‘I feel a bit cheated’: Scherri-Lee Biggs is FIRED on Celebrity Apprentice for not ‘doing much’ – and in her defence throws Ross Noble under the bus
Scherri-Lee Biggs was fired by Lord Alan Sugar on Monday’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
The beauty pageant queen, 30, was called out by the fearsome CEO in the boardroom for not doing ‘very much’ during the Koala Furniture group challenge.
Missing the brief in enticing as many passersby to experience the furniture firsthand in a shopping mall, Scherri-Lee threw project manager Ross Noble under the bus.

The challenge saw teams setting up a display in a shopping centre, and calling on shoppers to try out the bedding and sofas and discover more about the brand.
Each shopper was asked to fill out a paper leaf with their details, and the number of leaves collected would determine the winning team alongside any bonus points.
While Lord Sugar called out Shaynna Blaze for ‘factual errors’ in incorrectly stating Koala’s return policy to the undercover shopper, it was Scherri-Lee that had the British billionaire turning his attention to.

‘I wasn’t standing there looking at the ceiling, I was definitely working in our process,’ Scherri-Lee said in her defence, telling Janine directly that she ‘certainly wasn’t standing around’.
Stating that she had ‘expertise in management’, Scherri-Lee had no qualms in throwing Ross Noble under the bus who was project manager on the task.

‘I actually wanted to stand up as project manager on this task and Ross wanted to go round two,’ she said.
‘At this point, I’m really wishing I did take that role. I’m sorry Ross. Maybe things would have been managed differently in that aspect. The process let me down,’ the model continued.
After hearing why she believes she should be kept safe, Lord Sugar said ‘the failure of this task was brought about by not enough people being brought to be questioned. Therefore Scherri-Lee, you’re fired’.

While leaving in a waiting car, a devastated Scherri-Lee said in a piece to camera that she feels ‘cheated’.
‘Ross stepped up as project manager for the second time and we lost both of those tasks. I was ready to step up as project manager in this task.
‘I know that if I was project manager, I wouldn’t be in this position. I feel a bit cheated right now, I do,’ she concluded.
Celebrity Apprentice continues Tuesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
