He explained it was the “worst illness” he ever had. “Three years ago I had pneumonia,” he said at the time.“I had been working too hard and got a bit run-down.“I got very, very wheezy and had trouble breathing — so much so that I thought I was going to die.“I was put on a course of antibiotics.”He added that, despite the lifestyle, he didn’t stop working hard and even admitted to searching online about whether being “addicted to business” was a real affliction.Dragons’ Den has run for 19 seasons, and is hugely popular on BBC Two.
