BBC dragon Deborah is a fan favourite on the big money investment programme and has been a Dragon since 2003, after taking over from Rachel Elnaugh on the third series.The businesswoman is one of the wealthy investors on the BBC show and has amassed a mega fortune through years of savvy business decisions, but what else do we know about her?From her 10-bedroom Somerset mansion with a whole farmyard work of pets to a whopping net worth, let's take a closer look...Somerset-born Deborah married long-term boyfriend Paul in 1993 and they live in her home county.The couple met in 1985 when he was working at her former holiday company Weststar during his university break.However, things weren't always rosy as they split briefly due to Deborah not wanting a family with him.She then took a trip to Venezuela, but on her return to London came back and married him.In a 2011 interview with the Telegraph, Deborah revealed that she never does any housework because her husband is in charge of "domestic chores."The Dragon’s Den has a seriously impressive house - a 10-bedroom mansion in fact.After selling her Weststar Holidays company for £33m back in 2006, the couple bought the lavish property in Somerset to have a calm life in the countryside.

Microsoft president Brad Smith has said that staff at Activision Blizzard will be “under scrutiny” following its acquisition of the publisher.Last month, Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard in a deal worth around £50billion, with the US Federal Trade Commission currently conducting an antitrust investigation.The purchase comes after Activision was hit by a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and another by the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission following multiple allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, and workplace misconduct.In between that, its own staff also filed a complaint too, alleging that the company used intimidation and “coercive tactics” to stifle staff trying to improve working conditions.It’s also been alleged that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick was aware of sexual misconduct claims within the company since 2018 but did not inform Activision’s board of directors. A report by the Wall Street Journal also suggested that Kotick played a first-hand part in the culture that has embroiled Activision in sexual harassment lawsuits and investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission.Speaking CNBC (via VGC) about the accusations, Smith said: “We’re looking to the leadership team at Activision Blizzard today to make culture and workplace safety a top priority every single day, until the day when this deal hopefully closes.

Monkeys being used for experimentation at a lab involved with Elon Musk’s Neuralink project “had their brains mutilated in shoddy experiments and were left to suffer and die,” according to a report.The biotech company from Tesla founder Musk is accused of abusing the monkeys being used in the testing stages.It's claimed macaque monkeys used by the University of California, Davis, in connection with the Neuralink experiments suffered severe physical and mental trauma – sometimes even before the experiments began.The allegations stem from a report by The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine [PCRM], an animal rights group that campaigns to replace the use of lab animals with “human-relevant methods."UC Davis received more than $1.4 million (£1m) from Neuralink to carry out the experiments which are aimed at perfecting a link between computers and the human mind.A PCRM report says that “most of the animals had portions of their skulls removed to implant electrodes in their brains as part of Neuralink’s development of a ‘brain-machine interface’.”The group’s shocking report also claims: “Neuralink and UC Davis staff failed to provide dying monkeys with adequate veterinary care, used an unapproved substance known as ‘Bioglue’ that killed monkeys by destroying portions of their brains, and failed to provide for the psychological well-being of monkeys assigned to the experiment”.It adds the tiny monkeys used in the experiment were caged alone, and had steel posts screwed to their skulls, leading in some cases to “seizures following brain implants, and recurring infections at implant sites”.In some cases, says PCRM, the animals were so badly injured they had to be put down even before the experiments had properly

Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff and Sir Alex Ferguson are three of the most revered coaches of our time, but for some reason, none of them have tried the revolutionary idea of sticking a goalkeeper up front.Thankfully, there's one man who has.Step forward Stuart Pearce, who, on the final day of the 2004-05 season, made the madcap decision to convert David James into a centre-forward as Manchester City chased qualification for the UEFA Cup.With two minutes of normal time remaining and City needing to score, 'Psycho' lived up to his name (and then some) by replacing midfielder Claudio Reyna with second-choice stopper Nicky Weaver and throwing James up front.Pearce had hoped to unsettle the Middlesbrough defence, but according to Boro No.1 Mark Schwarzer - James' opposite number in the Teessiders' goal - it actually delivered the opposite effect. Schwarzer, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at its launch of the 5-A-Side Bet on Leicester v West Ham, revealed the reaction of the shocked Boro players.
