Dean didn't bring a suitcase with anything in it each week,\" he explained.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Michael J Fox breaks silence as he laughs off CNN 'death' tribute following news outlet apology\n  * Angela Rippon recalls former boss demanding she 'make way for younger women' in 'misogynistic' chat\n  * ITV Emmerdale star rushed to A&E as actress shares candid social media photo\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"Once I didn't get fired the first time doing it, it had to be the empty suitcase.\"\n\nA preview of tonight's episode reveals an emotional moment during the interview stage, with Claudine Collins visibly moved by one candidate's personal story.\n\nBeauty brand owner Karishma Vijay, 28, opened up in the clip about her father's financial difficulties during her conversation with Collins, Mail Online reports.\n\n\"My dad was, at one point, a very financially stable man. Now we have very little to get through each month,\" Karishma told the interviewer.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShe explained that her motivation stems from her family's circumstances, sharing: \"It's why I'm here, because for me, at the core of my business plan is rent is due on the 22nd. Today - my rent is due today.\"\n\nKarishma added: \"I want to give him the world. Everything I do, my dad's at the very core of it.\"\n\nFollowing the exchange, Ms Collins was shown wiping away tears after Karishma left the room.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, former contestant Kieran McCartney has spoken about the toll the competition took on him during his time in the process.\n\nThe 27-year-old estate agent, who departed last week after honouring a pact with Lord Sugar to leave if his team lost, revealed he got through approximately 800 cigarettes across his 10-week stint.\n\n\"By the end of it, I think I'd done 800. I used to have a family that sent me 200 cards in every few weeks,\" he told The Sun.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
