Lord Alan Sugar has shared the first picture of himself with aides Karren Brady and newcomer Claude Littner ahead of the new series of The Apprentice.
The business mogul teased fans ahead of the launch by posting a snap of the trio on Twitter on Friday.
He captioned the snap: “The Apprentice is back this autumn, this time with Karren & Claude.”
The picture is the first glimpse of the line-up without show stalwart Nick Hewer, who stepped down from his role as Lord Sugar’s aide after the last series.
Back in January, Dara Ó Briain announced that he would be quitting his role as host of spin-off show The Apprentice: You’re Fired.
