A long-running cast member of the BBC’s business reality series Dragons’ Den has announced he is leaving the programme. According to reports, the businessman—described as a Dragons’ Den legend—issues a public statement on Saturday to confirm his exit. One outlet says he quits after 10 years on the show, while another reports he leaves after 11 years, indicating the length of service is being counted slightly differently across sources. The announcements indicate the change follows his decision to step away from the series rather than being tied to a reported specific incident. Both accounts present the departure as a planned farewell and do not mention a replacement in the coverage provided. The reporting focuses on the statement itself and the duration of his tenure, describing him as a familiar figure on the programme. Further details about when his final appearance will air, or who may join the panel, are not included in the information supplied.
