The Apprentice’s Jonny Heaver revealed a blunder he made during his final appearance on the show, which he was grateful didn’t make the cut.

Jonny was the fifth hopeful to leave the show last Thursday (March 6), being fired by Lord Alan Sugar after he failed to impress during the contestants’ business trip to Turkey.

The two teams were sent abroad to put on events for corporate clients, with Chisola Chitambala’s team opting to take their guests out on a Jeep ride. Keir Shave led his team as the group staged a hot air balloon ride for their clients, which drew in more profit than the opposing team.

In the boardroom, Lord Sugar chose to bring back Frederick Afrifa and Jonny from the losing team, before Johnny heard the dreaded “You’re fired!”.

It was when leaving that Jonny made the blunder, telling Yahoo how he was mortified when he was unable to leave the room on his first try.

“The bit I'm so happy that didn't make the edit... I pushed the pull door. It was so embarrassing!” he said.

"I went straight into the door on my way out, so I'm just so happy that it didn't make the edit – it made my day.

"One time you cannot push a pull door is when being fired by Lord Sugar, do you know what I mean? It's not the time or the place, so I'm glad I didn't make the edit.”

Jonny followed his co-stars Nadia Suliaman, Carlo Brancati, Aoibheann Walsh and Emma Rothwell in being voted off the show.

In next week’s episode, the candidates will be tasked with creating a children’s banking app as they battle it out to become Lord Sugar’s new business partner.

The Apprentice airs on BBC One on Thursdays at 9pm and is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
