The Apprentice contestant quits after 'ill-informed' remark

Dr. Jana Denzel, a contestant on The Apprentice, has left the show early following an incident where he referred to a character as 'coloured' during a task, prompting production staff to address the remark. Although the BBC confirmed that action was taken regarding the 'ill-informed' comment, they emphasized that Denzel's exit was unrelated to this incident and supported his decision to leave for separate reasons. Reports indicate that diversity training was provided to Denzel after the comment, which reportedly upset two female team members. The controversy surrounding his language raised concerns among the cast and production team, leading to discussions about acceptable language around race. Denzel's departure will be featured in an upcoming episode, while previous contestants have also exited the show under varying circumstances. The BBC has reassured viewers that swift action was taken to address the issue once it was reported.
