Which Dragon's Den investor was the youngest Dragon when he joined the UK series in 2022?

The story behind the answer

Steven Bartlett was the youngest Dragon when he joined the UK series in 2022.

Bartlett joined Dragon's Den for the programme's nineteenth series, which aired in 2022. He was 29 when he became an investor, making him the youngest person to serve as a Dragon. His appointment marked a generational change in the panel, bringing a technology and social-media entrepreneur into a format long associated with more established business figures.

Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, and later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast. The age record concerns his age at appointment, not his current age or the age of the oldest Dragon. It also refers to the UK programme rather than every international version of the Dragons' Den format.
