Sara Davies, who joined Dragon's Den in 2019, has just finished filming another series of the show, which features guest stars Gary Neville and Emma Grede.

Strictly star Sara, 39, has previously revealed to Express.co.uk about how guests have changed the show's dynamic and how the Dragons adapted to them being on set She said: “We had to fit an extra chair in which wasn’t easy! “It sounds ridiculous but having six of us talking on top of each other instead of five was actually quite a challenge.

It meant that all the pitches took quite a bit longer so we scheduled to do less in a day. “I know when I was the new Dragon, I can still remember quite succinctly what it was like and the steep learning curve you go through.

So, it was like onboarding a new Dragon but you have to do it in a few hours not over a few days. It was a really quick learning curve.” During her four years as part of the panel, she's seen hundreds of entrepreneurs presenting a huge range of ideas to her and the other Dragons- and no day is the same in their job.
