Which entrepreneur became a Dragon on the British programme in 2013?

Kelly Hoppen became a Dragon on the British programme in 2013.

Hoppen joined Dragon's Den as an investor in 2013, bringing a career in interior design and entrepreneurship to the panel. Her appointment added a Dragon whose business background was strongly associated with design, interiors and luxury branding.

She had already established an international reputation as an interior designer and had developed commercial ventures connected with her design work. On the programme, she evaluated pitches alongside investors from technology, retail, property and finance.

Hoppen is sometimes mixed up with Sarah Willingham, another woman who later joined the panel. Willingham entered the programme after Hoppen, so she is not the Dragon associated with the 2013 appointment.
