If there’s one show that cops a drubbing over its production conditions it’s Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice.

Now Gina Liano takes aim at the way the talent was treated on the shoot.

She said they filmed for up to 19 hours straight, starting at 4am, and were often prevented from eating, drinking or even using the toilet for hours at a time.

“I am a professional woman. It’s not uncommon for me to be in court for hours at a time, but even then, as a courtesy they will give everyone a break to use the bathroom and collect their thoughts,” she tells News Corp.

“That didn’t happen on Celebrity Apprentice or, as I like to call it, Celebrity Punishment.”

The Real Housewives star said she had since heard producers may have deliberately turned down the air-conditioning during filming of boardroom scenes, to put stars on edge.

Her claims follow previous criticism from Brian Mannix and Peter Everett.

Brian Mannix once told media, ”It is a celebration of the worst in human nature under the high moral ground of raising money for charity.

“It wasn’t fun at all. If you like arguing, cracking the shits and being a bitch then you’d love it but I found the whole experience a bit morally bankrupt.”

Peter Everett once said, “I was staying with some friends in Sydney and honestly, I was coming home saying ‘Please don’t make me go back there, please don’t make me go back’.

“I was severely depleted, I was getting sick and trying to pull energy out of nowhere and added with the emotional side, it was hard core.”

But last month Kerri-Anne Kennerley told TV Tonight, “The manipulation, I’m not so convinced about because I’m not allowed to interfere or tell them what to do. They do exactly what the project manager tells them to do.

“If I saw things being so complete unfair, I don’t know how I’d react. Everybody was in exactly the same boat. And the longer they stayed in the more tired and exhausted they got.
