Dragons' Den star Sara Davies has spoken out about the price of fame after finding herself pursued by a pushy paparazzi photographer who wouldn't stop following her as she headed to her children's school.She had been out at lunch with fellow Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaz Skorjanec when the confrontation began, as she struggled in her bid to protect her children from the scrutiny of the public eye."I just tried to appeal to his better judgment," the 38-year-old explained.Talking on the That Gaby Roslin Podcast, she continued: "I said 'Look, please I'll stand and you can take a picture of me walking along the street and do whatever you want to do, but I'm trying to pick my kids up from school now and I really don't want you to follow me to the school or harass the kids.'"Unfortunately, a shaken Sara didn't get the calm and measured response she was hoping for - and a heated argument began."He scoffed in my face and said 'Ha - like I wasn't sat outside your house for five hours last night!' - and it just hit me like a ton of bricks," she exclaimed."It just terrified me and it just made me think 'Is it worth it?' because that's not what I set out to achieve!"I didn't set out to be in the public eye like this."Sara had already been known for her TV appearances by the time the Crafter's Companion founder joined Dragons' Den.However her fame escalated and toppled off the scale by the time she joined the Strictly Come Dancing team.She and her husband Simon had an intense discussion at the time about whether the show was the right thing for the family."One thing that was really important to us was keeping our kids out of the public eye," she explained."I'm a really big family person and I just want to shout it from the top of.
