Duncan Bannatyne off Dragon’s Den never seemed like the most approachable person in the world, but surely he’d make an exception for a 12-year-old boy on Twitter who’s looking for a little business advice from his idol? Err…. nope.

This 12-year-old schoolboy — clearly a fan of Bannatyne’s — Tweeted asking for some business advice, and I guess Duncan isn’t one to give it out. Not for free, anyway.
Here’s how it played out:

A stunned Rocco tried to diffuse the situation, but Bannatyne was having none of it:
@DuncanBannatyne A young boy wishing to grow up like you a entrepreneur I look up to you.

The kid’s dad then got involved, and honestly he shouldn’t have because his shitty grammar was always going to rub Bannatyne up the wrong way:
@roccorose_rose @DuncanBannatyne he was not rude he a well manerd lad, you was wrong be a man and appolagise he a twelve year old boy

Come on Duncan, it’s Christmas FFS. Cheer up!
Then again I guess it’s to be expected from a guy who offered his followers £50K to track a man down and break his arms.
