Apprentice hopeful Melody Hossaini has revealed how she was kidnapped and held at gunpoint while growing up with her family in Iran.
The 26-year-old businesswoman, who runs a global youth consultancy business, spoke in an audition video for the show of how her family fled their home country when she was a child.
"What makes me different from other candidates is that I come from a different upbringing," she said. "I was born amid war in Iran.
"Our neighbours were bombed and we fled. I've been held at gunpoint in my own home. I've been kidnapped."
