Fired: Hibah Ansary became the second casualty of the Junior Apprentice
Project manager Adam Eliaz decided to bring Hibah and Zoe Plummer, left, back into the board room
Lord Sugar decided Hibah's time was up, saying the cut-throat nature of business is not suited to her personality, seen here with Nick Hewer and Karren Brady
This week saw the two teams tasked with inventing a new camping accessory, which Hibah's team opted to make out of cardboard.
Hibah, 16, from Manchester, was on team Revolution, who created a multi-purpose storage unit called Flex N Store.
She helped with the photoshoot to promote the invention, but the task fell apart when the team struggled to put up a tent.
This weeks the teams had to make a new camping accessory
After pitching their goods to retail giants including Argos, Instinct shifted a total of 3,100 units - while Revolution sold none.
Attention soon turned to candidate Emma Walker's questionable decision to create a camping product made out of cardboard.
Emma said: 'I don't think I should be criticised for coming up with the best idea that we had.'
But Lord Sugar's aide Nick Hewer interrupted: 'I think it was a terrible idea. Cardboard and camping equals soggy.'
Project manager Adam Eliaz decided to bring Hibah and Zoe Plummer back into the boardroom.
Lord Sugar told the candidates: 'Hibah, I've observed only in the last two weeks that you are very articulate.
'Adam, on balance, I like your spirit. Hibah, my instinct is that the cut-throat nature of business is not suited to your personality so, with regret, Hibah - you're fired!'
As she was driven away, Hibah said: 'This process has shown me how important success is to me.
'I really do fear failure. I'm still going to carry on with my dreams of studying medicine and I hope that I'll be really successful at it one day.'
