But with a third round still to go, she then returned to the stage and apologised to Greg and the audience for her behaviour.
She said: "I'm sorry I did that, I just got really angry, I'm sorry."
It wasn't all bad for Lucy though, as she ended up finishing third and received three points from Greg.
Taskmaster airs Thursdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
