Dragon's Den star Peter Jones found out the hard way that you don't mix business with pleasure, after he tried to team up with pal Holly Willoughby.

Peter, 55, reportedly worth a whopping £65m, was seemingly seeing red after the This Morning star backed out of their huge £11m deal at the last minute.

Holly, 40, jumped at the last minute due to having too many conflicting commitments but the spoiled business relationship left a sour taste in Peter's mouth as her decision cost the BBC star millions.

Peter's long-term partner Tara Capp admitted they had once been "exceptionally close" but Holly walking away was "devastating".The two families had been friends for more than 10 years and would regularly holiday together, with Peter even owning a 40% stake in Holly's husband Dan Baldwin's TV production company.Lifestyle brand Truly was set up by Tara and Holly in 2016, with Peter becoming chairman in March 2018, and was tipped to double the This Morning host's then estimated £11 million fortune.Holly dropped the bombshell she was withdrawing from the lucrative business venture at the last minute after previously describing the brand as "beautiful things that are of the highest quality, surprisingly affordable and designed to make your life easier".Peter was said to be 'furious' when he discovered that Holly was abandoning the project during a tense meeting at his business headquarters in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
