Dragons' Den erupted into chaos during its latest episode as two stars ended up in a heated row. Touker Suleyman branded fellow Dragon, Steven Bartlett a "little grasshopper" as insults were thrown.
Steven had offered the two hopefuls, Alice and Bethan, all of the money they were asking for in return for 5% of their business. However, Touker could be heard grunting as he quipped: "Daylight robbery."
In response, Steven told the women: "This guy, doesn't get out of bed for 1%. He will offer you an office space in a minute, just you wait." However, things didn't stop there as Touker said: "He has named dropped so many names now. I am name dropping nobody."
"He doesn't know anybody," Steven fired back. It really got to Touker as he snapped: "50 years. More than you'll ever have. 50 years experience in business. You have got 5 years. 50 years, so lets put things into perspective. I have got more experience on one little finger than you have got..."
Touker was swiftly interrupted by co-star Deborah Meaden as she urged: "Lets just focus on the entrepreneurs." Steven said: "He's easily triggered."
Touker then turned to the two women waiting to secure an investment as he said: "Guys, I think you have got some great offers but I am not going to do it for 2%, that's the problem. You have got much more hungrier people to my left."
"Make an offer then if you don't like 2%," Steven urged. After a pause, Touker said: "Smirkey over there. Little grasshopper over there. Look at smirkey over there.
"I will tell you what I'll do, I'll let them make the offers. I am not going to invest today so for that reason I am out."
