The reaction was met with a lot of hostility, with show fans writing:
@Lord_Sugar Erm, fairly sure it’s because his Mum died shortly before filming this.

@Lord_Sugar its quite clearly not an attempt to get more viewers. @SimonCowell lost his mother around that time. Wow I used to like you man. — becky (@_beckygroom) August 30, 2015
@Lord_Sugar Harsh. His Mum died. Are you getting empathy lessons from @kthopkins?
