Married At First Sight’s Martha Kalifatidis reveals the setback that ‘doomed’ her professionally – as she’s tipped to win Celebrity Apprentice

She parlayed a memorable appearance on Married At First Sight into a lucrative career as a social media influencer.

And on Friday, Martha Kalifatidis revealed she once experienced a professional setback when someone higher up in her workplace didn’t get on with her.

The Celebrity Apprentice star, 32, told 9Now: ‘I think sometimes if there’s someone high up that just doesn’t like you. You’re doomed.’

‘There’s nothing you can do. It doesn’t matter how much you prove yourself, it doesn’t matter how great you are at what you do. It’s a setback,’ she said.

Martha, who worked as a makeup artist before MAFS, explained that no matter how determined she was to prove her worth, she just couldn’t get ahead, 

‘But I think it eventually pays off. You just have to be determined,’ she added.

Martha is currently competing on Celebrity Apprentice for her charity Bully Zero.    

The show’s CEO Lord Alan Sugar recently revealed on the Kyle and Jackie O Show that he thought highly of Martha and that people often underestimate her.

The British billionaire even referred to the reality star as a ‘bright kid’.

Meanwhile, the social media superstar is tipped to win the Channel Nine program.

Earlier this week, just a day after the season premiere, fans noticed Lord Sugar was only following one of the contestants on Instagram: Martha.

Some viewers believed this was a sign she takes out competition, but online bookmakers are tipping The Block’s Shaynna Blaze to win.
