Donegal businesswoman Aoibheann Walsh put her best foot forward in the frantic first episode of BBC’s The Apprentice.

The cut throat competition saw Aoibheann, from Kerrykeel, and her fellow competitors travelling to Innsbruck in Austria to put their sales skills to the test.

Aoibheann may not have had much screentime in this episode, but behind the scenes she revealed that she played a key role in getting her team over the line, sparing them from potentially being fired in the boardroom.

“They left out the fact that I sold more tickets which I’m a bit raging about,” Aoibeann told her Instagram followers after the show aired.

“If I didn’t sell those last two tickets we would have lost that.”

Sharing her delight at the reaction to the show, Aoibheann says it was a “magical experience, so surreal. I’m overwhelmed with all the messages and everybody tuning in.”

Aoibheann, who runs the G&G beauty salon in Letterkenny, is vying for the chance to win a £250,000 investment and mentorship from Lord Alan Sugar.

Aoibheann has designed a unique patented utility belt specifically for hairdressers, makeup artists, and costume designers on the go.

“I have already identified a gap in the market, secured patents, and developed prototypes; what I need now is an investor like Lord Sugar to amplify the reach of my products,” she said.
