BBC Dragons' Den viewers tell pair to 'get a room' as they spot 'beef' and bash 'uncomfortable' scenes

Viewers of Dragons' Den have hit out at two of the show's multi-millionaires telling them to 'get a room' following the latest episode. The hit BBC One show was back on screens on Thursday night (March 9) with five more nervous entrepreneurs hoping to bag the investment of Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett.

In the den this week was a plastic-free soap brand and the creators of mouldable fixing sticks who claim they have found an alternative to glue, as well as a 15-year-old who hoped to impress with their very own football board game.

However, the attention turned away from the budding entrepreneurs as Touker and Steven got into a bit of a face-off, leading to viewers assuming there was 'beef' between the pair. They were seen clashing as business hopeful Cassie explained her plastic-free toiletry company to the dragons.

Cassie suffered a bit of a stumble when she was quizzed by her potential investors over her annual earnings before revealing she had made losses on the eco-friendly brand, leaving the dragons interrupting each other in a bid to find out more. However, Steven, 30, and Touker, 69, ended up rowing between themselves.

It started when Touker questioned Cassie on how she planned to spend the £70,000 investment she was asking for. "What are you going to spend the £70,000 on?" he asked, to which she replied: "Getting a new business development manager in full time." Social Chain founder Steven then butted in: "Do you know what you need? A CEO – a real experienced operator to run the business."

But fashion retail entrepreneur Touker wasn't impressed and turned to his fellow dragon and said: "Steven, if you keep interrupting me while I'm talking – I'll never get anywhere." But Steven hit back: "You weren't saying anything," to which Touker replied: "It's the third time you've interrupted me."

"Have you watched Dragons' Den before, Touker?" Diary of a CEO podcast host Steven then exclaimed, before Touker concluded: "Yes, now keep quiet." But Dragons' Den viewers were quick to comment on social media about the ward of words between the pair.

@hollyfrances__ tweeted: "What is going on between Steven and Touker swear it’s getting worse and worse each episode #dragonsden." @mochivminie wrote: "The tension between touker and steven in tonight’s episode of dragon’s den bro…" @shahin_lisa said: "Quite a bit of tension between Touker and Steven tonight," to which @RuthSwindells replied: "Just thinking the same. Real tension!"

@TheGhettoRacoon posted: "What is with Steven and Touker it’s so awkward to watch the b***hy little digs #dragonsden." @Georgeroyde complained: "What's with Steven and Touker? Do they know how uncomfortable it is to watch? Supposed to be top businessmen but they aren't keeping it professional #dragonsden."

@darrenbizzle2 typed: "Steven and Touker should get a room #dragonsden." @abbeylouuu asked: "Why do Toukker & Steven have so much beef #dragonsden." @CurlyShirley02 added: "#DragonsDen Steven and Touker need a pair of boxing gloves each." But @BaileyyThomass said: "Love the banter between Steven and Touker #dragonsden."
