Mr Gentile said: "The dynamics of a TV show are very different to real life business situations.
"Being an entrepreneur means taking risks, but maybe playing it safe would have been best in my case. However, I am proud that I remained true to myself and acted boldly.
"I would not change anything.
"Valentina was my favourite part of the show, she is funny and entertaining.
"I also loved Amit’s facial expressions!"

Mr Gentile's team decided on tacos and he came up wiht the idea of a monkfish taco.
However, in taking on the role of team leader and delegating the preparaion of the monkfish, the teams tacos landed them as the worst team that week and Mr Gentile was ultimately eliminated.
He added: "I am sorry I wasn’t able to show my real business skills on camera but here will be plenty more opportunities for that in the near future.
"Smokin’ Brothers is only just getting started."
