Claude Littner will return for two episodes of the seventeenth series of The Apprentice after recovering from injuries he sustained in a serious accident last year, it has been confirmed.
The businessman and TV personality, 73, who has been an advisor to Lord Alan Sugar on the hit BBC show since 2015, was absent from the most recent series after undergoing multiple surgeries after a serious bike accident.
A show insider told the PA news agency: “We were really pleased to have Claude back – he is a much-loved part of The Apprentice and Tim (Campbell) was a big hit with viewers last time so to have them both in the new series is a real treat.”
