Contestants on The Apprentice are absolutely butchering Gráinne's name

Oh dear.

LAST WEEK, WE noted that one of Lord Sugar’s new Apprentice hopefuls was a make-up artist called Gráinne from Nothern Ireland.

We were young, naive, and hopeful that the general British public would learn how to pronounce this beautiful Irish name.

The Newry woman has managed to stay relatively under the radar for the first .

Well, no. We had hope, but they let us down.

She was called Gran-ya constantly, and her face says it all
