Jessica’s arrival on Celebrity Big Brother comes just a month after she reached the semi-final of the 12th series of hit BBC show, The Apprentice.

She was fired after her business plan was torn apart by the interviewers and Lord Sugar.

In firing her, Lord Sugar told her: “Jessica, I think you’ve got great sales ability but it’s a very, very risky idea. Jessica, it is with regret that you’re fired.”

Jessica, an online fashion entrepreneur and operations director for a PR and marketing agency, is the second housemate in this series with links to north Derbyshire.
