Miriam Staley (born 1978 in Oxford, England) is a former hotel manager, who originally lived in Saint Martin in the French West Indies, holds a BA in French and Spanish, and has been involved in underwater diving with sharks.
Miriam was dismissed from the process following the tenth task, as Lord Sugar found her unsuitable in terms of her personality and staff management, though later remarked that the decision may have been the wrong one after the episode's broadcast.
