Which Dragon was described as the youngest member of the Dragons’ Den panel when he joined?

Steven Bartlett was described as the youngest member of the Dragons’ Den panel when he joined.

Bartlett joined BBC’s Dragons’ Den in 2022 after co-founding Social Chain, a social-media marketing company. His appointment brought a noticeably younger perspective to the panel and made his age a prominent part of the BBC’s announcement and subsequent coverage.

Before television, Bartlett had built a career around digital businesses, online communities and social-media strategy. He also became known for The Diary of a CEO, a podcast and media brand featuring interviews with business leaders and public figures.

The distinction is about his age at appointment, not a permanent ranking that cannot change. As new investors could theoretically join the programme, descriptions of the youngest Dragon are tied to the relevant point in the show’s history. Bartlett’s 2022 appointment is the key date behind the record.
