In a discussion on Daybreak about Frankie Cocozza leaving X-Factor, Lewis Roman from Junior Apprentice was briefly mentioned about being kicked off the show for being drunk (and I assume disorderly) but the presenter was cut off. Has he been axed from the show or has anyone else heard about this?

I don't watch Daybreak myself but mother heard this today and she's an Apprentice fan too.

But I've done a quick Google search and found nothing.

Goodness!

Filming for the current series would have finished some months back. I suppose he could have been asked to leave, though if so, I'd be suprised no one leaked it before now.

I think its fairly obvious Lewis will be booted next time he's in the boardroom, so perhaps he decided to go out with a bang!

He probably got drunk after his "Girlfriend" got fired!

There were pictures of him in a club in todays Sun paper. Maybe some confusion came from that?

Ah thank you, that answers it somewhat!

No, I saw this too. I have Daybreak on in the background whilst getting ready for work and I think it was Christine Bleakley who said it, it was something along the lines of the contestants being too young to handle the pressure and she mentioned how Lewis had been asked to leave because he got drunk and disorderley. Maybe they cut it as it doesn't happen for a couple of weeks and therefore nobody was supposed to know.

If this is true, then just like in the regular apprentice a normal firing will still take place that week (and we avoid a normal double firing, which was calculated based on the number of weeks and the number of candidates).

I hope so, can't stand him

He reminded me of a stroppy toddler when he threw a tantrum when Harry M returned to the house on last week's episode.

Yes, maybe he was asked to leave the club because he was drunk?

He was upset at Hannah leaving not at Harry returning to the house. There were two who returned after all.

I've just looked on ITV Player because I wanted to see the moment she spoke about Lewis, but I couldn't find it. I'm not quite curious enough to sit through two hours of week-old breakfast TV, anyone got any pointers as to which part of the programme she mentioned it?


EDIT: Found it, it's here http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=287387 start watching from 1 hour 6 minutes in. I think she just meant that he's been "out" drinking, and was quieted down because she was about to say he was pictured grabbing someone's boobs

Thank you! Mystery solved!

dont think he's axed. xfactor is now but apprentice was in summer (ice creem task?) so it may just be the paps following them and phone tapping after the show goes out.
ps i dont like the way the always have 1 too many people on they show then 1 of them just goes its never 2 or 3 who get ill or home sick.

Put all those gay rumours to bed then doesn't it

He's like Ross from friends
Dopey, funny but smart

Well He's Fired Now :d
