ISLAND businessman Stuart Baggs "should have gone" according to fired Apprentice contestant Melissa Cohen.

Both were hauled into the boardroom after their poor performance in a task to sell innovative new products to the trade – with Melissa eventually being fired by Lord Sugar.

In an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy Melissa said she felt like a scapegoat.

She said: "Me and Stuart were up for firing this week and I can't really argue with that. But I feel that Stuart went into the boardroom for a second time - he'd had his second chance and I wasn't given that. On that basis Stuart should have gone."

She continued: "He’s an intelligent guy. He's an engineer of ingenuity - that's what I call him. He's got some really good inventions but he needs a substantial amount of work on his approach and business consultancy."

Stuart, 21, who was educated at Ramsey Grammar School, tried to persuade Lord Sugar that his track record for selling yo-yos in the school playground was a worthy reason to keep him in the competition.

He said:"I can make millions of pounds for you. I am 100 per cent confident. I have done it already selling yo-yos in the school playground."

His comment has been picked up on the social networking site Twitter with people re-tweeting: "Does anyone feel like they are wasting their time at work today? If Stuart Baggs can make millions selling yo-yos what am I doing here?"

Heat magazine has also declared that the highlight of last night's episode was Stuart. 

The magazine said: "We'll go with Stuart Baggs (again) for attempting to fix the shower display unit with his teeth mid pitch and in front of the clients he was trying to sell to. Genius that boy genius."
