Deborah Meaden slammed a Dragons’ Den hopeful for failing to answer her questions after being sidetracked by two other investors.
Deborah returned to the Den with fellow Dragons Touker Suleyman, Steven Bartlett, Sara Davies, and Peter Jones for the 20th series.
Lucy, the first to pitch, introduced the Dragons to Taboo, a robust pill bag made for people who need to take medication on a regular basis.
And, while she overcame her anxieties to confront questions from all five possible investors, she failed to impress Deborah by not paying her enough attention.
‘Can you concentrate on me please,’ Deborah first asked Lucy, after the hopeful turned to Touker before answering a question.
In response to Deborah asking how much her pill cases cost to manufacture, Lucy turned to Touker and said: ‘I’m going to very quickly Touker, if I may, jump in, because I think you’re going to come to me and say, “I could have made that in a factory for 75p”, and I’m going to say, “Fair enough”.’

But as Touker interrupted, Deborah turned the room back to her, saying: ‘Go back to Touker in a minute but as of now I shall follow my line of questioning.’
Answering the next question, Lucy continued: ‘I’ll have hopefully sorted out manufacturing with my good friend Touker here or any of you, and the margins will become a little bit better.’
Deborah then answered the following question, but Lucy, noticing the smirks, turned to Peter and winked.

It seemed to be the last straw for Deborah, who savagely remarked: ‘It would be really helpful if you concentrated on me rather than winking at Peter and answering Touker’s questions.’
‘I’m so sorry,’ Lucy gushed as Sara grimaced.
Touker then discussed his personal connection to Lucy’s goods, as well as his previous health struggles.
‘I am that customer fortunately,’ he told Lucy, continuing: ‘I had a bad illness a few years ago so I’m on blood thinners, hydrocortisone, cholesterol, you name it I take it.’
‘But I’m healthy thank god,’ he added.
Dragons’ Den continues on Thursday at 8pm on BBC One.
