A "tenacious, fierce and determined businesswomen", Rochelle Anthony is a salon owner who prides herself on her great intuition and is always being compared to the "Kim Kardashian of the business world" for doing business with a "hint of glam".
Based in Bedfordshire, Rochelle has said that her biggest weakness is that she doesn't like the word 'no'.
"I will always turn it into a ‘not yet’, and I cannot let go. I will do things single-handedly, just because I need to get it done," she added.
"I’ve had a business in the past that I quickly realised wasn’t right. I’ve got very good intuition as I know I have a strong brand; I always learn from my mistakes and turn everything into a positive and use it to fuel my new ventures into the successes they deserve to be."
What has Rochelle said about joining The Apprentice?
Rochelle has said she wants Lord Sugar's investment as she knows the hair industry like the back of her hand and "Lord Sugar knows business".
"Together, we would be an absolute force to be reckoned with," she added.
