A mum spotted her husband with 'another woman' while holding their baby in a background shot on The Apprentice this week.

The BBC One reality contest returned with a raft of new contestants this week.

But one viewer got more than she bargained for when she tuned into the return of the Lord Alan Sugar-fronted TV contest.

Journalist Rosa Silverman was alerted to her husband's accidental star turn when her friend spotted him.

Her husband was seen sitting at a table in Pop Brixton in a background shot as the two teams battled it out by selling burgers.

According to the Mirror, the friend wrongly believing at first that the mystery woman was Ms Silverman.

She thought the whole family had been caught by cameramen, but another pal who got in touch realised it wasn't and called her too.

Ms Silverman looked and realised that the woman definitely wasn't wearing her coat - later joking that the "Other Woman" had better grooming.

That's when she started asking her husband questions - and the mystery deepened when he claimed he couldn't remember the coffee meeting at all.

Eventually the couple realised that the 'other woman' was in fact a mutual friend of the pair - and both could breathe a sigh of relief.

Writing in the Telegraph , Ms Silverman said: "Even if you’re just sitting at a picnic table, having a coffee with a friend, it seems you are not safe.

"For this, it transpired, is what my husband was doing. After some time, he finally remembered: the Other Woman was in fact one of our mutual pals.

"He had further photographic evidence from the day itself to prove it.

"Not that I ever doubted him, naturally."

Though one friend 'helpfully' mentioned that just because she was a friend, it didn't mean he wasn't cheating.
