WATCH OUT LORD SUGAR

The Apprentice hopeful Grainne McCoy is a special effects makeup artist who transforms into a zombie

It looks like the new series of The Apprentice is going to be a new level of scary

THE Apprentice is usually terrifying thanks to Lord Alan Sugar’s temper, imposing presence and power to fire, but this series will see things take an even scarier turn as special effects, zombie loving makeup artist and designer Grainne McCoy joins the ranks.

The 31-year-old hails from Northern Ireland and is a makeup artist who has worked on an array of films, and while the pretty brunette is clearly a dab hand when it comes to beautifying, she has also transformed herself into an array of terrifying zombies.

A peek at the candidate’s Facebook page reveals her truly terrifying creations which look like she has just walked off the set of a horror movie.

Grainne’s website reveals that she has worked as a makeup artist in Selfridges and Cannes, and on films such as Ibiza Undead.

And while the rest of her Apprentice competitors boost of being “awesome” and “already winners”, Grainne is slightly less scary with her fighting talk, stating: “I need guidance and a little bit of mentoring to help me make that first million.”

Her website adds: "Grainne’s passion lies with makeup design, creating looks for all occasions from film sets to catwalk to teaching.
