Which Dragon's Den investor joined the British panel in 2021 at age 28?

The story behind the answer

Steven Bartlett joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2021 at age 28.

Bartlett became one of the programme's youngest Dragons when he joined for the nineteenth series. He was known for co-founding Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, and for his work as an entrepreneur, author and podcaster. His technology and digital-media background added a different profile to a panel historically associated with retail, manufacturing and conventional business investment.

The age figure refers to his age when he joined the panel, not his age during every broadcast of that series. This distinction matters because a person's age changes while a television series is being produced and transmitted.

Bartlett is sometimes confused with later or earlier Dragons because the panel has changed repeatedly. Touker Suleyman, Nick Jenkins and Peter Jones are separate investors with different periods on the programme. Bartlett's 2021 appointment is a precise milestone in the show's panel history.
