Hilarious moment young lad absolutely shuts down Lord Alan Sugar with '10/10' response on Children in Need

A lad took the chance to put Lord Alan Sugar in his place during the Children in Need fundraising show on Friday night (14 November).

The annual show aired last night, aiming to raise funds for the charity for the 45th year running, with the appeal successfully raising about £45.5 million to help children and young people across the UK.

BBC Radio 2 host Sara Cox made headlines for her gruelling challenge to run 135 miles over the course of five days in the north of England, which she triumphantly completed on Friday in the town of Pudsey, Leeds.

It equalled five marathons in total, with the DJ managing to raise over £9.5 million by the end, saying at the finish line: “That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it … hello Yorkshire! I’m an honorary Yorkshirewoman now.”

But there was more to the Friday night broadcast which aired from Media City UK, Salford, as sketches from shows such as Gladiators and notably, The Apprentice.

Lord Alan Sugar is known for his role testing the minds and nerves of several business hopefuls as they compete against one another to earn a six-figure slary job as his apprentice.

While he is best known for presenting the BBC show, Lord Sugar is also known for his time as the chairman and part-owner of Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur from 1991 to 2007, when he sold his remaining shares in the club.

It may have been 18 years since he severed ties with the North London side, but many remember his involvement with Spurs, as a boy reminded him during The Apprentice sketch during Friday night's show.

As one of the kids sitting in front of the judge panel, the lad cheekily asked: "My dad wants to know if you're the person who made Spurs rubbish."

Lord Sugar asked: "Is your dad an Arsenal supporter? Are you an Arsenal supporter? When's the last time Arsenal won something?"

The boy then hit back: "The Women's Champions League!"

Superb stuff 👏👏👏 https://t.co/2PncCTJrGI pic.twitter.com/SCx1EHaod2

While the Tottenham men's team won the UEFA Europa League last season, Europe's second tier competition, Arsenal's women's team took home the highest honour in European football after a 1-0 win against holders Barcelona.

Maybe Lord Sugar should be fired for forgetting such a stat.

People on social media loved it, with one sharing: "I mean.....Sugar wasn't specific about the men, kid played him like a fiddle lol."

Another posted: "Getting outmanoeuvred in the boardroom by a 12 year old," as a third added: "Tears in my eyes the next generation will be alright."

The show also featured performances from a number of the Strictly Come Dancing professionals and Lewis Capaldi, among others.
