After beating 15,000 rivals to a dream job with Sir Alan Sugar five months ago, Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry's dream is over.
Michelle is set to part company with Sir Alan's Xenon Green computer disposal firm after agreeing a pay off. It's the latest in a series of blows for Michelle following a miscarriage and a split with her boyfriend, fellow Apprentice contestant, Syed Ahmed.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror: "It just wasn't working out. Sir Alan and Michelle had huge hopes for the partnership. But it just hasn't worked out the way either side hoped. It feels like the whole thing has been cursed. There's been one problem after another and in the end, both decided it was best to call it quits."
Michelle has already set up her own company, Michelle Dewberry Limited and is currently recuperating at home following complications after her miscarriage.
Michelle has told friends she is still determined to succeed in business. Meanwhile Ruth Badger, the woman she beat to the top job in the TV reality show, is going from strength to strength. She's well on her way to earning her first million and is to star in a new Sky One series, The Big Idea, a nationwide search for wannabe investors and entrepreneurs.
Michelle grew up on a Hull council estate and started her career working as a checkout girl. She had a traumatic childhood. Her older sister Fiona fell to her death from a tower block, aged 19, after becoming a drug addict.
