You would imagine that since Apprentice candidate Lorraine Tighe has two children of her own, she would be able to work a buggy. But apparently not!

The mother-of-two is project manager for tonight’s task, in which the teams pick two baby products then attempt to sell them at a baby fair in London’s Earl’s Court.

As Lorraine struggles trying to collapse a buggy, Sir Alan’s aide Nick Hewer quips: “This pushchair looks to me like the most complicated thing when in fact of course, when done properly it is the simplest thing with a great selling point – she is making a complete Horlicks of it!”

To add insult to injury, Looraine doesn’t notice an identical buggy being sold for less on a competing stand, and Ignite teammate Kate whispers to Howard: “I can’t believe she didn’t ask if anyone else would be selling it!”

Howard isn’t devastated though. He says: “Do you know what though? At least if we lose we’ve got a reason.”

He added: “There is no point in us demonstrating to anyone because we just look like idiots.

“We just don’t look professional when people ask how you recline it and then they have to show us.”

The Apprentice airs tonight at 9pm on BBC1.
