BBC Dragon's Den hopeful forgets part of pitch but still gets Dragon's email

The aim of the BBC One show Dragons' Den is to walk away with the investment of dreams. But although one Welsh woman who entered the den did not come away with her desired investment, she did not leave empty-handed.

Mared, from Porthcawl, started her pitch for her handbag range by saying "shwmae" to the Dragons. After that, however, her pitch did not go well. You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to our dedicated newsletter here.

She admitted she was a "designer and not a business lady", that she had only sold two of her handbags so far and forgot to tell the Dragons how much she was asking for and what percentage of her business they would receive. Mared said: "Oh sorry guys, I'm very nervous" and also became a little emotional while talking about how her products were sustainable and eco-friendly.
