Fans of The Apprentice were left gutted on Thursday night, when it was revealed that Claude Littner had to pull out of the new series, due to 'medical issues', right after returning to the BBC show following a horrifying bike accident.
Viewers were left gutted last year when Claude, aide to head honcho Sir Alan Sugar, was missing in action, due to suffering serious injuries and requiring extensive surgery to save his leg, following the freak accident; so it was to great delight that Claude was confirmed to be returning for 2023, giving an encouraging update on his health, during an appearance on Good Morning Britain before the first episode, saying: "It was a freak accident. I think someone was looking out for me but if someone was looking out for me better, I wouldn't have had the accident. I was lucky to have the ambulance driving behind me."
"I am doing wonderfully well, thank you. I am very grateful to the ambulance crew for looking after me and of course the surgeons at St Mary's who put me back together."
