Since the age of 19, Deborah Meaden has been a successful businesswoman, and one man has been by her side the whole time as she has constructed a vast empire.
Somerset-born Deborah, 62, is one of the most recognisable faces behind Dragon's Den, but she is not actually an original dragon because she joined at the start of series three.
Shortly after leaving college at 19, Deborah rocketed to success as she launched a glass and ceramics business, selling to stores including Harvey Nicholls, but unfortunately her hard work crumbled after just 18 months, according to The Mirror.
