The latest fired candidates on The Apprentice took a series of parting shots at Lord Sugar amid the fallout from the BBC show's double elimination. 

In Thursday's episode (March 26), the candidates were tasked with taking on the fan-favourite TV selling task, flogging products that they believed would win over the nation live on air.

Levi Hague, Conor Galvin, Kieran McCartney, Dan Miller and Rothna Akhtar placed their hopes on a yoga mat, an exercise machine, a shoe dryer and a bracelet in order to secure orders from viewers. 

While Karishma Vijay, Lawrence Rosenburg, Pascha Myhill and Priyesh Bathia decided on air purifying headphones, a water flosser and a ring to make profit. 

Lord Sugar joined his grandson Joe as they watched the candidates sell the products on screen, and they were far from impressed with the outcome from the teams. 

It sparked a fiery showdown in the boardroom, with losing team project manager Conor bringing back co-stars Levi and Kieran to face firing. 

And while Kieran managed to survive another week, making a deal with Lord Sugar to walk if he fails as project manager next week, Levi and Conor were given the boot. 

But not without taking a series of final shots at Lord Sugar, revealing their disappointment to be leaving the process, saying Kieran was 'kept in for dramatics'. 

Conor said: 'I definitely think it was down to me and Kieran, and obviously Kieran gave the very exciting ultimatum, which was offered to me and I declined. 

'It was down to the wire between me and Kieran as to who should stay and I think ultimately the dramatics kept Kieran in.

'Based on my nine weeks of performance, I wanted to progress based on merit. I think I really gave it 100% every week and so I think I was hoping that Lord Sugar would look at my past performances over the last nine weeks. 

'I was happy with my selling technique in the challenge, but unfortunately, my end result left Lord Sugar with no other choice but to fire me.

'If I could go back, I would argue my case to stay based on merit more. I would have tried to reason with Lord Sugar that I will give 100% next week and every other week as I would in the real business world. 

'I don't want to progress based on dramatics, I want to progress based on merit and because I am good at what I do. 

'But that is my only regret - not fighting my corner harder when I felt so defeated in the boardroom.'

Levi admitted that he was partly relived to leave the competition, even if he didn't think he 'deserved' to be fired from the BBC One process. 

He added: 'When I was fired, I wasn’t upset, I was actually quite relieved and ready to get back home to my business, my wife and my six-month-old daughter.

'I don't think [I deserved it], but I respect Sugar's decision. In hindsight, I wish I performed a bit better and not got as giddy about being on the show.'

Also taking aim at Kieran, Levi continued: 'I think Kieran should have gone out of me and him. He said he was a strong salesman, but when he was selling there wasn’t much enthusiasm or energy...'

It comes after one previously fired candidate opened up on being 'really sad' to leave the competition, and shared an extraordinary confession in the wake of his firing.

Harry Clough, financial sales manager from Battersea, London, waved goodbye to his £250,000 investment and partnership from Lord Sugar last week.

Harry has followed in the footsteps of his fellow fired co-stars Rajan Gill, Megan Ruiter, Carrington Saunders, Andrea Cooper, Vanessa Tetteh-Squire, Roxanne Hamedi, Tanmay Hingorani, Marcus Donkoh, Georgina Newton and Nikki Jetha. 

When asked about how he felt after being fired, Harry said: 'It was extraordinary. 

'I mean, seeing Lord Sugar's finger point and then saying ''you're fired'' was such a weird experience, it was pretty surreal.

'I kind of felt it coming because I was in the boardroom with Kieran and Conor, who are the biggest characters on the show. 

'So, I thought I didn't stand a chance against those guys.

But then I was just really sad. I loved the whole process, filming was insane and everything was awesome. 

'But then you just leave and you didn't see them again and then it is just back to normal life.

'I was happy with how far I got, but I was definitely gutted to go.'

And when asked if he thinks that he deserved it, Harry added: 'I mean, there's all this argument about the SUP (stand up paddle board). 

'I think it was the right decision to buy it there and then. 

'Obviously it was unlucky that the other team managed to get a second-hand one but that was sort of out of my control.

'I don't think that was all on me and I think there were other things that happened, but everyone did so well in that task, so it was always going to come down to the smallest thing. 

'Someone had to be fired at the end of the day.'

He also think that the wrong person was sent home. 

Harry said: 'I would say it was so close and I think it's so easy to blame a PM and put it on them. 

'I was saying Kieran should have been fired when I was in the boardroom because obviously there was that whole joke about them going on a lad's day out and tasting wine and stuff like that. 

'They went against Kieran's motto of what we should do in terms of pricing in terms of doing this quickly.  

'But also at the same time, they did really good deals. So, I think it was such a close one.

'It was so difficult and when it came down to me, Conor, and Kieran, it was always going to be me.' 

It comes after candidate Rajan launched an attack towards Levi Hague, saying he instead should have been fired in his place after 'putting himself out there' more than his rival last week. 

Last Thursday saw Lord Sugar task the remaining candidates with creating a virtual reality demo of a new game, designing a brand to score investments. 

The losing team, led by Lawrence Rosenburg, opted to create an aerobics game where huge frogs chase the user - however they received only £55,000 worth of investment.

This was in stark comparison to the opposing team, which had Harry Clough and thanks to Karishma Vijay's expertise in gaming, soared to victory by securing £205,000 investment for their futuristic running game. 

Lawrence, 28, decided to bring Levi and Rajan back into the boardroom with him to face Lord Sugar's wrath - but it was Rajan who was eventually given the boot.

Hitting back against the decision, he said: 'Ultimately, Lord Sugar makes the decision based on the task and the overall performance, and I respect that. But I don't think I deserve to be fired, to be honest. 

'One of the things that Lord Sugar said to me before he fired me was that he felt like he didn't really see much of me throughout the process.

'But if I had the chance to speak to him right now, I would remind him I was sub-PM twice throughout the process. I held, I think, three corporate negotiations throughout the process of which every negotiation outweighed and smashed the other team. 

'And I put my all into every single task and I feel like there were some individuals who didn't do that and they should be facing the repercussions themselves.'

Laying into former co-star Levi, he added: 'I feel like in terms of consistency throughout the process, I didn't really see much of it. 

'I think he was sub-PM once in the first task in Hong Kong and I feel like I put myself out there a lot more than he did...'

The Apprentice airs Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
