Apprentice star Philip Taylor is fired
Philip Taylor became the latest Apprentice candidate to get the boot after flirting with fellow contestant Kate Walsh in front of team-mates.
Estate agent Taylor, who fears his legacy will be the "Pants Man" character he devised in a previous show, had blazing rows with another contestant, Lorraine Tighe.
Tighe decided to bring the flirting up in the boardroom.
Sir Alan told 29-year-old Taylor, from County Durham, that he was being given the boot because his bravado and attitude were not going to fit into his organisation.
This week's task on the BBC1 show saw candidates travel to Liverpool and Manchester where new British inventors pitched their products to each team.
The teams were told to select two products to sell on to retailers.
As the flirtation with Walsh picked up steam, Taylor cheekily commented: "I'd buy anything off her."
Tighe nominated herself as project manager for Ignite, which made sales of £1,300 and Mona Lewis stepped up for Empire, which won by notching up £4,501 in sales.
During last night's episode, Tighe referred to the flirting, telling Sir Alan: "I just think they were on a jolly day out to be honest.
