Kristina Grimes admittted to The Sun newspaper today that she turned to the church to help her cope with the devastation of losing BBC One’s Apprentice show.
She said: “When I lost I was in bits, I was devastated and I just wanted to get away from everybody.

After 12 gruelling weeks battling it out against Britain’s brightest business hopefuls, Simon Ambrose, a 27-year-old internet entrepreneur from London, has been named as Sir Alan Sugar’s third Apprentice.
Simon walks away with the prize of a six-figure salaried job with the self-made multi-millionaire and boss of Amstrad, Sir Alan Sugar.
In the concluding episode, screened last night on BBC One, Simon beat off stiff competition from 36-year-old pharmaceutical sales manager Kristina Grimes, by managing a team of fired apprentices in the toughest task yet – they had to come up with ideas for a replacement building to Sir Alan’s recently acquired £120million IBM building on the South Bank.

Kristina Grimes and Simon Ambrose may be going head to head tonight in the Apprentice final, but even with all that rivalry between them, there is still something they can agree on. Unsurprisingly, they both have a deep dislike of the most recent Apprentice loser, Katie Hopkins.
Kristina Grimes told the Daily Mirror “If you think intelligence is sleeping with married men and only getting to wherever you are because you have slept there, then more fool you.”
Simon added “she has got more issues than the Beano. I think she should try to find some more married men. Hats off to her if she thinks that is the route she has to take.”

Katie Hopkins sensationally pulled out of the race to become Sir Alan Sugar’s next Apprentice as part of the BBC reality TV show.
Katie was already employed in a £100,000 a year job and many questioned her motives for applying for The Apprentice when the money would remain the same.
However, after giving up on her chance to work with Alan Sugar, Katie has now found herself unemployed after being sacked from her role in the Met Office this week. Read more & comment »

Sir Alan Sugar suspected that Katie Hopkins had entered The Apprentice purely to win and gain some exposure but little did he know!
Katie’s step daughter Charlie McKinney has today claimed that Katie is very impressed with the idea of celebrity and also applied to be on Big Brother. If I am honest i think she was probably better suited to BB.
McKinney told the Daily Mirror: “Katie went for Big Brother and was a stand-by. She’s very into celebrity. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her on the next Celebrity Big Brother.”

Tonight saw the semi final of the BBC reality TV show, The Apprentice.
Controversially, instead of sacking one person, Sir Alan Sugar announced that he would sack three, to make room for two people in next weeks final.
The contestants had to endure three rigorous interviews with trusted business associates of Sir Alan, who then fed back their opinions to the boss man.
Sir Alan quickly arrived at his decision to get rid of Lohit and Tre (FINALLY!) but was in a quandary when it came to decide between Katie, Kristina and Simon. Read more & comment »
