Touker Suleyman announces he is quitting BBC’s business programme Dragon’s Den after 10 years as a panellist. In statements reported by multiple outlets, he says his time on the show has been “extraordinary” and that he believes it is the right moment to step aside. Suleyman frames the departure as making way for “new blood,” suggesting the role should be taken up by new panellists moving forward. The reports indicate his exit ends a decade-long run on the programme, during which he has served as one of the show’s investors. Neither outlet provides details about who will replace him or when he will officially depart from the series. Both sources emphasize the length of his involvement and his rationale for leaving, with one highlighting the overall experience and the other reproducing his remarks about bringing in new participants. The announcement is presented as a personal decision to leave the show rather than a response to an external event.
