Duncan Bannatyne left BBC's Dragon's Den in 2014.
Bannatyne was one of the programme's best-known original investors and appeared on the panel from the show's early years. He built his business career through ventures including care homes, health clubs and property, later becoming a prominent television personality and philanthropist.
His departure came after a long run on the programme and marked the end of one of the original Dragons' regular appearances. He was subsequently replaced on the panel by other investors as the BBC refreshed its lineup.
The date is sometimes confused with the years in which other major Dragons departed. Theo Paphitis left earlier, while Bannatyne's exit is specifically associated with 2014. His departure also occurred before the later arrival of newer panel members such as Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett.
