Lisa Curry has been fired from Celebrity Apprentice Australia. The former Olympic swimming champion, who was temporarily replaced by Warwick Capper earlier this week when she had a prior engagement, was hauled into the boardroom by boss Mark Bouris after she and her Team Unity colleagues Shane Crawford and Jason Coleman lost a challenge to create a billboard for P&O cruise liners.
