Scots comedian Limmy has compared a Scottish Apprentice contestant to one of his characters from his own sketch show. 

The comic said 'she's came to life' as he tweeted about the uncanny resemblance Glasgow contestant Natalie Hughes bears to his character Jacqueline McCafferty from the Limmy Show. 

His reaction prompted a series of tongue-in-cheek tweets from fans and social media users who erupted online at the comparisons. 

Glasgow Times:

Glasgow candidate Natalie was fired during last night's episode of The Apprentice.

Lord Sugar told the businesswoman: "Natalie, you've been a bit quiet, you've not been pushing yourself forward. It is regretful that this is only the second week but Natalie, you're fired."

30-year-old Natalie is the owner of a hair and beauty salon in Glasgow's Est end. 

She had compared herself to Gordon Ramsay as she described her 'hustler's ambition' before exiting the show.
