Karren Brady was left with tears running down her face and unable to film due to two contestants on The Apprentice.
The 53-year-old Baroness has been an aid to show judge Alan Sugar on the hit BBC One reality series since 2009 and is featured in the current season.
In unaired scenes of the current 17th season of the show, cameras were forced to stop rolling after Karren was unable to compose herself due to a task involving Megan Hornby and Simba Rwambiwa.
