You get the feeling she will feature heavily in the edit most weeks.

Press already on the case and have discovered she used to be lap dancer .

She reminds me a little of a northern Luisa zissman

Honestly (this is just a theory btw), it looks like she gets fired next week.

The next time trailer showed:
- Jessica has some sort of emotional breakdown
- All the candidates are a bit freaked by her breaking down
- Lord Sugar's in the boardroom holding a picture of a female candidate wearing jeans and saying it's a disgrace (girls lose?)
- Lord Sugar then says to whoever gets fired that he doesn't want anything to do with a loose cannon (girls lose and Jessica gets fired after the emotional breakdown?)

If a man had behaved all loose and messy like Jessica, Lord Sugar would have slapped him down straight away. I'll never forget him telling James (CBB winner - forget surname) off for stretching in the boardroom.

She became my fave as soon as she greeted Sugar with "Hellooooo" in her giddy exuberance. Will be a shame if she crashes and burns next episode, I thought she'd be happy throughout, but instead all her emotions might be turned up to the extreme.

I thought she rather overdid the 'here, catch!' thing with the antiques... seems likeable enough though...

So much yes.

First time? Actually quite cute, brought a nice flavour of personality to early proceedings.

Second time? Okay you're pushing it.

Third time? Dear god please stop before you actually break something and get fired for it.

I think that Michelle said on YF that Jessica was a good business woman. Would she say that if she knew Jessica got fired early on?

The woman is televisual gold, a female David Brent. She's evidently the 'X Factor joke act' of the proceedings this year- surely producers will keep her in for a while longer?

Much funnier than many of the overrated comediennes that are regulars on panel shows.

She'll be entertaining no doubt, much like the rest of them. Her energy stands out so she gets noticed more. It was hilarious the way she was all animated and strange when she asked one of the experts to "catch". I mean who would do that in a serious meet with a trader. She's all over the place but will be the entertainer along with the subtle ones

That's what I thought. Maybe moderately funny first time but soon became irritating. She doesn't seem very self aware and must be annoying to have on a team when they are under pressure to get tasks done.

I'm getting mixed up between her and the other lady (edit:Grainne), lol. They look really similar.

She's local to me, they've been going on about her on the radio. Same area as James Hill, another "character" from an earlier series. We do get 'em.

I'm not sure, I found her very annoying in the first episode.

Everything she does makes me cringe massively.

Agree with the David Brent comparison, but also does anyone here remember a League of Gentleman character called Olly Plimsolls, leader of the 'Legz Akimbo' theatre group? Me and hubby were pissing ourselves as that whole 'Helloooo' persona was just so him, trying so hard to be quirky/crazy/out there/'I'm a bit mad, me'.

She probably has her eye on a TV career afterwards rather than any sort of hard hitting business.

I think she is very striking, but totally neurotic

The boys might like her, but as a business woman I find girls like her a bit wearing. She does us no favours at all.

Probably picked for her entertainment value and hair flicking talent, until she implodes.

Are you the type who tells someone the end of the film before the opening credits have finished rolling?

Just a hunch I get...

If a man had behaved all loose and messy like Jessica, Lord Sugar would have slapped him down straight away. I'll never forget him telling James (CBB winner - forget surname) off for stretching in the boardroom.
BIB: Hill.

He also slapped down someone else (who escapes me now) for having their hands in their pockets last year.

Back on topic, she is the Jo Cameron (Series 2) of this series but less annoying - so far. Loved her opening exchange with the icy Karren, the "if I find any diamonds they're going down my bra!!!) and "you've got a nice pair of jugs there!" By the time we got to the "catch" thing, however, she was starting to wear a bit.

She is the entertainment value so I see her lasting till about Week ^ after a couple of close shaves. I think her "boardroom" will be TV gold in a car-crash sort of way!

Unnecessarily rude, as I said, was merely a theory, might not happen, especially because as I said, this was all shown from the "Next time preview", would the preview really spoil who goes next? Doesn't happen usually.

Sorry you took my comment so seriously when it was meant as a joke...oh well...

I'm surprised so many posters up top like her. She's pretty but I found her very annoying last night. She needs to calm down a lot and be a lot more professional and she did give Trishna's sale away for very little and that should've been pointed out a lot more in the boardroom. I want to see personable and competent candidates not annoying (but could be funny) and incompetent.

I think the trailer was too obvious to be her who's fired next week and I kind of got the feeling that they were going to give her a storyline of being on a journey and not being good at the beginning but getting it right at the end

Jessica was my early favourite! I got Helen Wood vibes at first; the accent, the look. For those who don't know Helen, it's very much a bad thing to be compared.

But once she spoke, she came across really genuine

I agree that she looks like BB Helen and has a similar style of speaking, but Helen was vicious and Jessica seems harmless so far.
