Touker Süleyman, the businessman and investor known for appearing on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, is leaving the programme after 11 years. Multiple outlets report that the 72-year-old entrepreneur joined Dragons’ Den in 2015 and has been a regular member of the judging panel since then. His departure follows a decision to step away from the show, with reporting indicating that he is quitting for personal reasons rather than any specific replacement plan being announced.
The coverage is consistent across sources that Süleyman has been part of the series for more than a decade and is now ending his involvement. While the reports describe his long tenure and the fact that he is exiting the programme, they do not present details in these accounts about who will take his place, when any final episode featuring him will air, or whether production changes will follow. The story focuses primarily on the announcement of his departure and his long-standing role on the BBC business format.
