Which Dragon replaced Rachel Elnaugh on the BBC television programme Dragon's Den?

Deborah Meaden replaced Rachel Elnaugh on the BBC television programme Dragon's Den.

Meaden joined the programme in 2006, becoming one of its most recognisable investors. Before and during her television career, she built experience in business and investment, including work connected with family-owned enterprises and leisure businesses.

Her arrival followed Elnaugh's departure from the panel. Meaden subsequently became known for direct questioning about margins, ownership percentages and the practical route to growth. She has remained associated with the programme across many series.

This succession is sometimes muddled with other panel changes because Dragon's Den has regularly rotated investors. Theo Paphitis and James Caan were also Dragons, but neither replaced Elnaugh in this particular change.
