HARLOW businesswoman Dani Donovan has made it through to the final five of BBC One’s The Apprentice.

But it was touch and go as Dani, who owns a beauty salon in Sawbridgeworth called Mermane, found herself in the losers group for the second week in a row.

Viewers enjoyed her going head to head with Simba as they designed a new brand of dog food.

But it looked as if they were barking up the wrong tree as the prospective buyers didn’t put in any orders.

However, it was Simba who was fired by Lord Sugar leaving a tearful Dani to celebrate getting through to the final five.

Now the former St Mark’s pupils attention will be drawn to the dreaded interview stage of the final where she will go head to head with the fearsome Claude Littner and the withering looks of Baroness Karen Brady.

Back home, Dani has had a lot of support in Harlow. We will be publishing a piece on that next week.

The final five is aired on Thursday March 16th, 2023 at 9pm.
