In Dragon's Den, which investor joined the BBC panel in 2006 after Rachel Elnaugh left?

Deborah Meaden joined the Dragon's Den panel in 2006 after Rachel Elnaugh left the programme.

Meaden is an English businesswoman and investor who built a career in family entertainment, leisure and retail. Before becoming a Dragon, she was involved with Weststar Holidays, a holiday-park business, and later acquired control of the company.

Her investment style on the programme has generally combined close attention to financial figures with questions about margins, valuation and the entrepreneur's ability to execute the plan. She became one of the show's longest-serving Dragons and appeared alongside several successive generations of investors.

The timing can be confused because the panel changed repeatedly during the programme's first years. Meaden did not belong to the original 2005 line-up; she joined for the second series, replacing Elnaugh after Elnaugh's departure.
