BBC Dragons' Den chaos as contestant says she's going to faint after Peter Jones grilling

Dragons Den descended into chaos as an entrepreneur said she was about to pass out during her pitch.

Corien Staels came on the show hoping the Dragons would invest in her air conditioning wheelchair business.

While most of the Dragons praised her product, one wasn't quite as convinced.

Peter Jones started to grill the wheelAIR boss on her financial figures.

Struggling to remember the vital figures, Peter said: "So, Corien, what’s going on now? Is this pressure? Are you feeling pressure?"

However, Corien felt the heat, as she told the Dragons: "I am so sorry, but I am going to pass out, I am seeing only black."

The Dragons then rushed to help Corien with Peter offering her his water.

Corien managed to return back to the set, and scooped up a joint investment from Peter and Deborah Meaden.

*Tonight's episode was a look back at some of the Dragons' most memorable moments.
