Victoria Goulbourne has revealed that she had thought about 'selling her business' after Lord Alan Sugar made a sharp remark about treating it as a 'hobby'. Despite making it to the interview stage, and having an all-female final five for the second consecutive year, she failed to secure a spot in the last round and thus, the £250,000 investment. When in the boardroom for the last time, Lord Sugar stated: 'Frankly, I'm not sweet on your idea, I'm afraid. Keep it as a hobby. No, it makes a good hobby.'

The comment was made after Victoria's hair was used in an advertisement for a hair salon, which was seeking the investment to broaden its horizons, offering tutorials and products for all types of hair. Reflecting on the situation, she said: 'Alan advised me in the episode to keep my business as a hobby, which I don't know if he meant...But my business was not a hobby. It did give me a full-time wage for two years and I'm really grateful for that.'

Victoria Goulbourne, star of The Apprentice, has divulged that she contemplated 'selling her business' after Lord Alan Sugar made a severe comment regarding keeping it as a 'hobby'. The former flight attendant almost clinched a spot in the ultimate round to become the 76-year-old's business partner and win his £250,000 investment, despite making it to the interview stage, which featured an all female final five for the second year in a row.
When she came back to the boardroom for the ultimate round, where Marnie Swindells emerged victorious, she appeared to get her revenge on Lord Sugar, who told her: 'Frankly, I'm not sweet on your idea, I'm afraid. He added, to the shock of viewers, who labeled it 'patronizing' and 'cold': 'Keep it as a hobby. No, it makes a good hobby.' Victoria ultimately got to put Lord Sugar in his place and said: 'I decided to go into modelling after you told me my last business should be a hobby, so...' Lord Sugar cracked a slight smile but was unsure how to respond.
The remark came after Victoria's hair was employed in an advertisement for the salon during one of the tasks, as she had been picked by Rochelle Raye Anthony, who desired the investment to expand her hair salon, accommodating for all different types of hair and offering tutorials. She has now disclosed what she contemplated Lord Sugar's comments, saying: 'Alan instructed me in the episode to keep my business as a hobby, which I don't know if he meant...
But my business was not a hobby. It did give me a full-time wage for two years and I'm really grateful for that.
‘I'm so proud that you know, I was able to construct something that did give me a full-time job essentially for the last two years.’
