He has reassured viewers he will be back.

The Apprentice star has been missing from the boardroom on the latest series, and fans wondered when Claude Littner would be back.

He was replaced by Tim Campbell, the first-ever winner of the show.

Claude has been missing from our screens since he fell from an electric bike, which meant he had to have nine surgeries and learned to walk again.

A viewer asked on Twitter when Claude could return.

They wrote: "I miss Claude Littner on The Apprentice this year! Hope his health is well and hopefully he’ll be back for next year’s series."

Claude himself replied: "Thank you. His health is good and he is “gearing up” for the next series….and so am I."

Many fans are hoping he will return to grill the candidates.

He is known for being one of the harshest interviewers on the show.

"We wondered if there was a distinct possibility that we may catch you making a star appearance for the Apprentice interviews this season!?! By jove they deserve a roasting," asked one hopeful fan.

"Hi Claude. Missing you on the Apprentice. Will you be back doing the interviews/interrogation of the candidates later on in the series?" added another.

Fans still have a few more episodes to go before they find out who will be grilling the contestants, as that usually takes place around the 11th episode.

Replacement aide Tim shared the advice that Claude kindly gave him: ‘The only advice he said was just be true to yourself because that is the only thing you can really do,’ he said.

‘The beauty of the show is the authenticity to focus on candidates, not on us advisors.’
