Who was the youngest Dragon when Steven Bartlett joined the British show Dragon's Den?

Steven Bartlett was the youngest Dragon when he joined the British show Dragon's Den.

Bartlett joined the programme in 2021, aged 28, for its nineteenth series. His appointment brought a notably young investor to a panel that had traditionally included established entrepreneurs from sectors such as property, retail, manufacturing and leisure.

Before television, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency. He also became known for The Diary of a CEO, a podcast focused on conversations about business, careers and personal development. Those experiences helped define his public profile as a digital-business entrepreneur rather than a conventional retailer or property investor.

The fact is tied to his arrival date and age, so it should not be read as a claim that he will always remain the youngest person ever to appear in every future version of the franchise. It refers to the British programme's panel at the time he joined, where his age was widely highlighted as a historic distinction.
