The Apprentice star Amy Anzel has been axed by Lord Sugar after her tourism task went wrong - but she claims his firing was "unfair" and "unjustified".The BBC One show returned for its sixth week on Thursday night (February 10), and it saw the teams go head to head in Wales in a tense bid to put on a fun-filled adventure experience for tourists.Amy's team chose to provide a package which included a zip-line ride, a fact-filled tour of a local underground mine, and a mature cheese-tasting experience.Sadly for Amy, though, her team lost and it was her time to leave the show - after landing in the boardroom with team leader Katherine Louise Burn and Aaron Willis.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star and other press, Amy admitted she was "gutted" to be fired by Lord Sugar, but she's now fired back his reasons for kicking her off the series.Speaking about her reaction to getting the chop, Amy said: "I was gutted. I was so sad and disappointed, but I've never seen someone fired by Week Six for not being PM and I thought 'I've been sub-team leader for four out of six tasks', I've been showing my skillset and my business acumen."I did put myself up as PM in Week Two and ultimately I've been contributing significantly to every single task.
