The Apprentice's Jessica buckles under pressure
The Project Manager was slammed by Karren Brady after turning up to a photoshoot for a jean campaign without the all-important jeans.
“So you’re doing photographs for your jean campaign without your jeans?” she said dryly.
Jessica awkwardly replied: “Basically the last location, we’ve put the jeans down and then we’ve not picked them back up again.”
Soon she became tearful, leading Karren to soften and ask her to step outside to compose herself.

Luckily Jessica came back fighting and did significantly better on the second day of the challenge - although the faux-pas was a big talking point in the boardroom.
"The jeans were left and we didn't realise until we were at the photography studio. It was a comedy of errors," she told Lord Sugar.
"I heard you were a little bit flustered," the mogul said.
"I was," she agreed. "It was horrific."
In the end, both teams lost the task - with Jessica's team-mate Natalie Hughes being axed for a lack of contribution.
Lord Sugar noted that it marked the worst result in the long-running challenge's history.
The Apprentice continues next Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
