Apprentice loser insists she is not cracking up

APPRENTICE loser Jadine Johnson has insisted she is not cracking up —despite bawling her eyes out on the show.

The 27-year-old single mum said she was emotional because she was missing her nine-year-old daughter, Ja-Dae.

Four years ago she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and hospitalised after battling chronic depression.

Friends expressed fears that she would not be able to cope with the strain of competing for a £100,000 job with Alan Sugar.

But Jadine said: “I went through that four or five years ago. I think it’s an awful thing to suggest I wouldn’t be able to cope. When you come through something like that it shows your strength.”

And she tipped Lohit Kalburgi as the surprise package of this series.

The 25-year-old telecommunications manager has barely figured in the show so far.

But Jadine said: “He’s got secret weapons, I think he’ll come out of himself.”
