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:
@roccorose_rose I know you did & I ignored you. Who do you think you are?

This tweet is rude as it demands I should have answered previous tweet https://t.co/eHJDT0X7Uy

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.

@DuncanBannatyne I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway I just want to be like 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.
