...but only for the interviews later this series

Margaret Mountford is to return to The Apprentice later this series, it has been reported.

Last year, Mountford stepped down as one of Lord Alan Sugar's "eyes and ears" on the reality business show after five series in order to focus on a PhD in papyrology.

It has now been claimed that Mountford will return to the show for the traditional round of candidate interviews in order to grill the remaining contestants on their suitability for the job.

According to The Sun, a source said: "It's great to have her back and I think she has missed being on the show.

"It's a nice cameo for her because the interviews are a notoriously tough part of the show and she is one tough cookie. They will not be able to pull the wool over her eyes."

Mountford was replaced on the BBC programme by Karren Brady, who herself featured as an interviewer on the final stages of previous series.

Its just not the same without her, now Nick can never leave!

Yes do go back.. I wish she had never had left.

She has a good sense of perception, a sense of humour, which is being missed.

I miss Margaret too She was always the best out of her and Nick and now we just have Nick's facial expressions to amuse us slightly. I remember her interview on "You're Fired" and she is actually a really down to earth woman. I wonder how her studies are going, can't remember what she is studying at this moment but I remember that it was the reason she left.
