Dragons' Den star Deborah Meaden threatens to kick out contestant over nickname blunder
BBC business show.The business magnate was stunned by the entrepreneur's epic name blunder, and it wasn't long before she called him out on it in the BBC studio.Business owner Steven Murr wanted £80,000 from the dragons in return for a 5% stake in his indoor cycling business - TurboRocks - which provides rocker plates that allow fitness fanatics to pedal away at home.However, Steven's pitch went horribly wrong when he started using rather familiar nicknames for Deborah, first calling her "Debbie" and then shortening it to "Deb" later on in the pitch.Starting off, Deborah asked her co-star Steven Bartlett what he thought of the rocker plates after he hopped on the saddle to give a demonstration in the Den.New dragon Steven had said he preferred his own way of training, and Deborah added: "And I guess it's personal preference..."Contestant Steven then said: "Absolutely, but there's no reason why there can't be the crossover there. Deb, you are..."Deborah was visibly shocked at the guest and cut him off immediately before he could finish his sentence.She said: "Did you just call me Deb?", and the contestant looked rather embarrassed as he corrected himself: "Deborah, sorry."Grilling him, Deborah went on: "Just so you know, you started off with a Debbie and got away with it once.

Dragons' Den guest turns matchmaker as she sets up newbie Steven with daughter
BBC's Dragon's Den saw one hopeful entrepreneur looking to pitch more than just her business.The plucky business owner made her appearance on the show alongside her husband as they pitched their Barking Bags product to the dragons on Thursday (January 27).Debbie Greaves and Rob Angel are former teachers who decided to invest their retirement fund in their business and hoped to impress the Dragons alongside their pet Cockapoo Maisie.The couple were hoping for a £35,000 investment in exchange for a 10 per cent stake in their business as they showed off their product to Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Steven Bartlett.Debbie set about displaying the merits of their "Barking Bag" utility bag, designed for dog owners to carry essentials such as poo bags, treats, toys, ball launchers and even a separate section for carrying dog waste in until you find a suitable bin.Meanwhile, Rob talked numbers on the business as they tried to win over their potential investors.One Dragon in particular, Steven, wasn't too sure that he was feeling the idea as he questioned how their product was any different to another, more fashionable bag.He questioned: "Can I just say, I'm a dog owner, I have a shoulder bag that I use, I put everything in there. I bring the toys, snacks, I bring the doggie bags, I bring all of the things that you put inside your bag, and I'm not using your product, so clearly there is competition.
