Jodi Gordon is fired from Celebrity Apprentice following one very bizarre decision

Jodi Gordon became the third star to be fired from Celebrity Apprentice on Tuesday night.

Sir Alan Sugar dismissed the 37-year-old former actress following her decision to lead a class in equine therapy that involved getting up close and personal with horses.

Unfortunately Jodi is afraid of the animals and looked visibly uncomfortable during the task.

‘Why would you, who is scared of horses, be the person who runs an equine therapy session?’ Lord Sugar’s Advisor Janine Allis asked in the Boardroom.

‘I wasn’t playing to my strengths in that task,’ the former Home and Away star admitted in her exit interview.

‘I should have spoken up, I should have done more and usually I do. Usually I throw myself into it and be a really big role of some sort.’

‘This particular task, I felt like I wasn’t doing enough and I certainly wasn’t playing to my strengths. That seems to have got the better of me.’

Addressing the manner in which she was fired, Jodi said, ‘I’m actually shocked by how brutal that was.’

“I don’t think Lord Sugar has seen what I’ve got to offer. I don’t think that he made the right decision in firing me.’

Earlier this month, Jodi revealed to TV Week magazine that the show’s British billionaire star was ‘frightening’ in the boardroom.

‘He was absolutely frightening,’ Jodi said of Sugar. ‘He was as tough as he needed to be, but gave everyone a fair go.’

Jodi, who is supporting Starlight Children’s Foundation on the series, explained she leaned on fellow celebrities Samantha Jade and Bronte Campbell on the show.

‘It was daunting at times, but I managed to raise a lot of money, so I’m proud of myself and thankful to those who supported me,’ she added.

‘I loved working alongside my girls Samantha and Bronte. We had a ball and made the absolute most of it. And the boys were always good for a laugh!’
