Fans of The Apprentice were once again left to worry about the health of Claude Littner after he was missing from the latest episode of the BBC business reality programme. He was replaced by The Apprentice season one winner Tim Campbell.
Addressing the absence, Lord Sugar explained to the contestants that Claude had “suffered some medical issues and so I was asked to think of someone else”. Sugar did not elaborate on the line-up change but welcomed Tim to cover his role.
Claude has been a part of the BBC One show as Lord Sugar’s aide since Nick Hewer left in 2015. The aide has become a solid fan favourite with many gutted to hear he would be replaced by Tim for some of this new season - but he’ll be back towards the end of the series, if not before, the grill the remaining applicants on their business plans in the iconic interview episodes.
