What happened to Claude Littner?
It was announced in July that Claude would not be appearing in the new series of The Apprentice.
In April, Claude had a cycling accident near his home in Mill Hill, London, which left him needing nine surgeries.
Speaking about the experience to PA News Agency, he said, ‘I was just pottering along, I must have been doing no more than 10 kilometres an hour on this sort of two-track road.'

‘I suspect I hit a pothole or something like that, but I must have blanked out at the moment of impact, because the next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground.’
Will Claude Littner return to The Apprentice?
Lord Sugar addressed concerns that Claude won't be returning to the next series of The Apprentice in December.
Taking to Twitter he said, 'Just to clarify @claudelittner will be back. He had a serious accident just before filming started @bbcapprentice.’
