Apprentice candidate, Lorraine Tighe has admitted that she “looked horrific” whilst appearing on the TVshow.

Lorraine, who often looked like she needed a good old wash, says that she felt overshadowed by her fellow female competitors.

“I was alongside a group of particularly pretty girls… All the girls were slim, lovely and well turned out. Then there was me,” she told The News Of The World.

“Kate [Walsh] would go to bed every night in her makeup so she looked groomed the next day, and Debra [Barr] would wear £1,000 Armani dresses. I felt like I was trapped in a beauty pageant. I was way out of my depth.”

The 36-year-old added that comments about her appearance had been “upsetting” and “devastating”, admitting: “My self-esteem went through the floor. I was literally crying all the time.”

Tighe has now had a complete makeover and lost two stone since appearing on the show.

“On The Apprentice I looked horrific,” she said. “Next to all those other gorgeous girls, I was definitely a one out of 10 woman. Now I’m a 10 out of 10. I can’t believe it.”

Well I wouldn’t go that far Lorraine!
