LORD Sugar has warned Cumbria's remaining candidate that she has "one more chance" to prove herself in The Apprentice.

Rebecca Jeffery, 31, from Asby, near Lamplugh, survived another boardroom battle at the end of tonight's BBC One show - but has been warned her time could soon be up.

"I am going to give you one more chance," Lord Sugar told Rebecca after he'd fired her project manager JD O'Brien.

"You really need to pull out the stops."

Rebecca was part of Team Nebula.

The team had to help an entrepreneur launch a new product - bone conductor headphones for cyclists - paid for through crowdfunding.

Team Nebula and rival Titan also had to create campaign videos and pitch their products to cycling retailers.

Lord Sugar stated that Rebecca, who runs her own design and marketing company, had now been on the losing team five times.

He also questioned her skills as a "marketing person", criticising the team's publicity stunt at a train station.

Rebecca, who lives in Altrincham, had managed the stunt, which saw the use of a self-written song performed by a gospel choir on the station concourse.

"As a PR exercise, frankly you created all the buzz of a dead bee," quipped Lord Sugar.

As he considered who to fire, he said: "Rebecca you have put yourself forward as a marketing person but ever time there is an opportunity for you to excel you have not. I have to seriously consider your future in this process."

Rebecca claimed credit for more than £200 of early pledges on Team Nebula's crowdfunding page, which did not impress Lord Sugar or his right hand woman Karren Brady.

Many of Rebecca's fellow candidates, who had won or survived this week's challenge, predicted she would be the one to go this week, only to be surprised when they discovered it was JD who in fact had been fired.

Candidates are fighting to win Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment in their business plans.
