Which original Dragon left the British television show Dragon's Den in 2014?

Duncan Bannatyne left the British television show Dragon's Den in 2014.

Bannatyne was one of the original five Dragons when the British programme began in 2005. He became known for his blunt assessments and for drawing on a business career that included care homes, health clubs and hospitality interests.

His departure in 2014 ended one of the longest continuous appearances among the original panel members. The change is sometimes confused with the earlier departures of Rachel Elnaugh and Theo Paphitis, or with later changes involving other investors.

Bannatyne continued to be associated with entrepreneurship and philanthropy after leaving the programme. His exit illustrates how the show's investor lineup evolved while the pitch format itself remained broadly unchanged.
