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.

A spokesman for the Met Office told the Daily Mail: “Katie was informed that we were terminating her period of probation with us.

“Although the probationary period is normally one year and Katie joined us in September 2006, we have the right to terminate her employment at any time during that period.

“In making this decision we would look at work performance, time keeping and conduct and review how a prospective employee is capable of achieving and maintaining an acceptable standard in all these areas.

“We decided that in this case Katie did not meet those standards and her employment was terminated.
