In BBC Dragon's Den, which Dragon was born in Limassol, Cyprus?

The story behind the answer

Theo Paphitis was born in Limassol, Cyprus, and later became a Dragon on BBC Dragon's Den.

Paphitis moved to the United Kingdom as a child and developed a career in retail and business. He became associated with major high-street brands, including Ryman, and later joined the Dragon's Den panel as an investor.

His background is distinct from that of several other Dragons. Duncan Bannatyne was born in Scotland, James Caan was born in Lahore, and Touker Suleyman was born in London. These different biographies can make birthplace questions easy to confuse when the names are considered only in the context of the programme.

Limassol is Cyprus's second-largest city and an important port on the island's southern coast. Paphitis's Cypriot birth is a biographical fact, not a reference to where he built most of his business career.
