Riyonn Farsad will focus on acting after being fired from The Apprentice

iyonn Farsad will return to his job as an actor after being fired from \'The Apprentice\'.

The 30-year-old became the fifth candidate to be given the axe by Lord Sugar on the BBC reality show on Wednesday (30.10.19), and revealed that he would be focusing on acting, where he is a body double for Eddie Redmayne.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Riyonn said: "I am actually in actor in day-to-day life, I\'m a body double for Eddie Redmayne and have acted in commercials."

Riyonn described his firing as "unfortunate".

He said: "It was unfortunate that I went and I\'m really gutted. I think it is a little bit unfair."

The actor, who hails from South London, believed that Ryan-Mark Parsons, 19, should have been fired by Lord Sugar instead, and criticised his teammate for "digging people out" rather than put himself forward to lead tasks.

He commented: "Between us three in the boardroom, I do believe Ryan-Mark should have gone. He\'s never been a project manager or sub-team leader. He\'s sat in the background making little comments and digging people out."

Riyonn also criticised his project manager Jemelin Artigas, 34, for her lack of strategy during the task.

He said: "I think Jemelin was more to blame than me. We didn\'t have a clue what we were going for and there was no structure to the task."

Despite this, Riyonn tipped Jemelin and Thomas Skinner, 28, as the candidates he wants to win Lord Sugar\'s investment.

He said: "Thomas has his own way of doing things and it works for him. He\'s the nicest person.

"Jemelin is a force of nature. I\'m a personality kind of boy and those two have strong personalities. They are both genuinely nice people."

It has been reported that there has been anger amongst the contestants, especially with regards to the conduct of Lottie Lion, 19, over comments she allegedly made toward another candidate.

However, Riyonn insisted that the atmosphere on the show was good.

He explained: "When we were all in the house together, everyone is actually really pleasant. If someone had had a bad day they move away and leave you alone

"Everyone knows the structure of the process. When we got back to the house, we went to bed and moved on to the next task."
