Who became the presenter of the British television programme Dragon's Den from its third series?

The story behind the answer

Evan Davis became the presenter of the British television programme Dragon's Den from its third series.

Davis took over after Adrian Chiles, who had presented the first two series. As presenter, Davis introduced the entrepreneurs and provided context around their business ideas, while the Dragons handled the questioning and investment negotiations.

His arrival helped establish one of the programme's most recognisable presenting arrangements. Davis was already known for broadcasting and economics, making the show's financial discussions particularly suited to his professional background.

A common mistake is to identify Davis as an original Dragon. He was the host rather than one of the investors. The word Dragon refers to the businesspeople sitting on the panel, not to the person presenting the programme.
