Lord Sugar’s aide Claud Littner is usually with him throughout the series. However, sadly, due to an accident, he was absent for the majority of this series this year.
That was until Thursday’s episode when he made an appearance at the interview semi-final episode. The Apprentice fans fled to Twitter to relay their excitement after seeing classic Claud return in good shape.

Commenting on a statement made at the end of interviewing Kathryn, @Ameera__C wrote: ‘’“The interviews terminated” King Claud never disappoints #TheApprentice’’. @biggabreakfast1 wrote @claudelittner #theapprentice apart from Alan Sugar and his whacky tasks, this fella #Claud is the best thing about the process so so wonderful to have him back - and if I may say he’s a big softy this time round’’.
The episode saw four interviewers: Claud Litner, Linda Plant, Mike Soutar and Claudine Collins individually go through the final four contestants' business plan on a one-to-one.
In response to this section of the episode, @TakashiFlash wrote ‘’Time to watch Claud destroy every business plan presented to him #TheApprentice’'.
However, there were some concerns that The Apprentice fans had about Claude’s appearance, from what they remember he last looked like. @Joeyhussell1 wrote ‘’Crikey poor Claud is looking old #TheApprentice’’.
@alfie_dobbo gave a detailed analogy commenting on Claud’s analytical skills as he wrote ‘’You could invite Claud and 8 others to a party. Buy 30 bottles of beer, and whilst everyone is cracking on, Claud would pull out his Filofax and breakdown the ration of people to bottles of alcohol and how the figures don’t add up #TheApprentice’’
@Ken_KP_Prince wrote ‘’I absolutely love the interview week on the @bbcapprentice! Especially with Claud back! #TheApprentice’’.
