Which Dragon's Den investor became a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013?
Answer
Deborah Meaden
Answer
Deborah Meaden
Deborah Meaden became a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013.
Meaden took part in the eleventh series of the BBC dance competition, partnering with professional dancer Robin Windsor. Her appearance showed her in a performance role away from the business studio where television audiences usually saw her.
She is primarily known for her business career and long-running role on Dragon's Den. Meaden joined the investment programme in 2006 and became especially associated with businesses in retail, food, leisure and consumer products.
The programme crossover is sometimes confused with other Dragons' appearances on entertainment shows. Strictly Come Dancing is a celebrity ballroom competition, while Dragon's Den is an entrepreneur-investment programme; Meaden participated in both formats.
