Peter Jones has mocked his Dragons' Den co-star Duncan Bannatyne for his lack of intelligence.

Bannatyne was the only judge from the show who did not take part in an interview on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross last month.

Speaking about the Scottish businessman, Jones told Growing Business magazine: "If he had half a brain he'd be dangerous. It's difficult to have an intelligent conversation with him."

Last year, Bannatyne denied Jones's allegations that he had undergone cosmetic surgery.

However, Jones, 43, expressed an interest in teaming up with The Apprentice star Sir Alan Sugar, describing him as a "sharp cookie".
