A WOMAN who grew up in Taunton is hoping Sir Alan Sugar’s dreaded finger doesn’t point her way in the new series of the BBC’s The Apprentice.
Natasha Scribbins, who attended the former Ladymead Community School, on Cheddon Road, is among the 16 candidates set to become household names when the programme returns on Tuesday.
And you can follow her progress in the Somerset County Gazette and on this website.
Natasha, 31, whose parents still live in the county town, hopes to win the £250,000 prize to invest in her own business as The Apprentice takes on a new format this year – and avoid Sir Alan telling her: “You’re fired.”
She left Ladymead with four GCSEs in the 1990s and later obtained a university degree in international hospitality management before becoming a recruitment manager in London.
She said: “I’m like a fine tuned switch.
“If I need to turn it down, then I turn it down.
“If I need to turn it up, then I turn it up.”
