Blundering male contestants were left embarrassed in tonight’s episode by the epic blunder as they searched for items while in Malta for the first task.
Apprentice contestants went to buy an octopus breathing apparatus but mistake it for the eight-tentacled sea creatureOne of the items on the list was the piece of underwater breathing apparatus with a 40inch hose.
To the bewilderment of adviser Karren Brady, the boys’ team arrived at a fish monger to try and pick up the item.
Standing outside the shop, team leader Rick Monk professed: “When we get in there I’m going to go in and start the negotiation. Let’s not go in there looking like a group of idiots.”
The staff at the shop looked perplexed when Rick asked for an octopus with a “40inch hose” but carry on with the sale despite the fact the mollusc doesn’t have a “hose” and even took out a tape measure to size up the tentacles.
They struck up a “bargain” with the shop owner and take away the dead animal in a bag of ice.
Viewers were in tears of laughter at the mistake, and took to Twitter to comment.
One wrote: "I can't believe they bought an actual octopus."
Another added: "They paid 30euro for a dead octopus I can't breathe".
A third was equally amused, tweeting a gif of Ryan Gosling laughing and writing: "An actual…real…octopus."
A fourth shared: "Can't wait to see Lord Sugars face when he sees the octopus".
Another wrote: "OH MY GOD THEY'RE BUYING AN ACTUAL OCTOPUS".
