Tim Campbell is replaced as Lord Sugar's aide on this week's The Apprentice
The Apprentice aide won't be appearing on the show this week after being in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID at the time of filming.
Tim Campbell will be missing from the upcoming episode of The Apprentice, with Mike Soutar filling in for the show's first ever winner, a source has confirmed to RadioTimes.com.
This week's episode will see the remaining six candidates try their best to impress Lord Alan Sugar in a challenge asking them to create and brand a new baby food – however, Campbell won't be watching their every move this time as he was self-isolating when filming took place.
A source exclusively told RadioTimes.com: "Tim had been in close contact with someone who had tested positive for COVID, and although he remained negative, as per the guidance at the time of filming, Tim isolated with Mike Soutar stepping in for the episode."
