Aoibheann Walsh Embraces the Cutthroat World of ‘The Apprentice’
Kerrykeel businesswoman Aoibheann Walsh put her best foot forward in the first episode of BBC’s high-stakes The Apprentice.
The show’s introductory episode saw Aoibheann and her fellow contestants travel to Innsbruck, Austria, to put their sales skills to the ultimate test. Despite limited camera time, Aoibheann emerged as a key player, ensuring her team’s survival in the boardroom.
“They left out the fact that I sold more tickets which I’m a bit raging about,” Aoibheann confessed to her Instagram followers after the episode aired. “If I didn’t sell those last two tickets we would have lost that.”
Boasting a “magical experience, so surreal,” Aoibheann expressed her overwhelming satisfaction. “I’m overwhelmed with all the messages and everybody tuning in.”
