Education
Siadatan was born in Hull in 1981.[1] She attended Kendrick School, Reading[2] and later studied economic history at the London School of Economics.[citation needed]
Career prior to The Apprentice
In 2007 with the help of her brother she set up the Myalacarte restaurant in Caversham, Reading.[3] This closed in 2017 since when a pizza restaurant has been on the site.[4]
The Apprentice
In 2009, Siadatan entered The Apprentice as one of sixteen contestants in its fifth series. She reached the final where she competed against Kate Walsh and was eventually hired as Alan Sugar's apprentice, taking a £100,000-a-year job with his company, Amscreen,[5] where 2008's winner, Lee McQueen worked at the time.[6]
Personal life
A few weeks after The Apprentice ended, she developed an office relationship with a fellow development manager, resulting in her getting pregnant. After spending time on maternity leave, she fell pregnant again during 2012 and effectively gave her notice to Sugar that she would be leaving his employment as a direct result, later acquiring a job under Dragons' Den judge James Caan.[7]
