Love Island superfan Claude Littner desperate to get into villa

The Apprentice's Claude Littner announced he can't wait to head into Love Island.

The business tycoon joined Good Morning Britain to discuss the latest series of The Apprentice which kicks off tonight (January 5th) on BBC One. He took a brief hiatus from the show after a "horrible" biking accident left him facing multiple surgeries but has returned for the 17th series.

GMB's Ben Shephard quizzed him on the new line-up of entrepreneurs before moving the conversation to another reality series he's been a fan of for years. Claude consistently live-tweets Love Island and has often gone viral for his commentary on the ITV2 show.

Ben shared his delight to hear Claude was a Love Island fan as he added: "I heard you wouldn't shirk the idea of being a contestant, is that true?" Claude took the comments in his stride as he said: "I think they're after me. I think it's just a matter of negotiating the final terms and I'll be there."

Rumours surfaced last year show bosses are working on a "mature" series for older contestants with "regular" bodies." The business mogul joked his body is in perfect condition for his age range and it would be something ITV would be interested in. He added: "Casa Amor is something I'm really looking forward to getting into."

Lord Alan Sugar recently clapped back at claims his cast "looks like Love Island" by stating he wouldn't understand the comment because he's never tuned in to make a comparison.
