For the third week’s assignment, Lord Sugar dispatched IT recruiter Melica Moshiri and the remaining entrepreneurs to the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of the Bard, William Shakespeare.

With nine hours to secure nine items, the team that spent the least on the correct objects would win the task.

Showing more bottle than previous weeks and stepping up in the initial team meeting, Our Melica threw her hat in the ring to be sub-team leader of her group of hopefuls… to the deafening sound of tumbleweed. 

Undeterred, she continued to ruffle a few feathers by butting in during Mia’s negotiations for a sheep’s fleece (yes, really), and clashing horns with her nemesis as Melica twisted the arm of the flower shop owner for cut-price Sweet Avalanches – that’s roses, to you and me.

Nevertheless, all the postering was forgotten as Our Melica found herself on the winning team and enjoying an immersive visit to the Gunpowder Plot Immersive Experience in London, proving how explosive she can be in the boardroom.
