Claude Littner has made a sensational return to BBC’s The Apprentice as this year’s final five candidates sat down to be interviewed. In scenes that aired on Thursday, March 16, the 73-year-old no-nonsense business executive interviewed Dani Donovan, Marnie Swindells, Megan Hornby, Rochelle Anthony and Victoria Goulbourne and quizzed them on their business plans - and their understanding of what it takes to run a successful business.
Claude has appeared on every series of The Apprentice, which began in 2005 and took over from Nick Hewer as one of Lord Sugar’s two main advisors in 2015. But after an electric bike incident - which you can read more about here - Claude stepped away from The Apprentice in 2022 and was replaced by former winner Tim Campbell. Despite Claude appearing in the first episode of the current run, Tim has remained a main advisor throughout the majority of the series.
