Tributes have poured in for the Bolton -born TV personality, Hilary Devey, after news of her death was announced on Sunday (June 12). She died in Morocco after battling a long illness and had been staying at her holiday home when she passed away.
Hilary shot to fame on BBC business show Dragons' Den where the Boltonian’s no-nonsense approach became a hit with fans. She also featured on the Secret Millionaire in 2008, giving money to a Rochdale music project, and presented The Business Inspector in 2010.
After leaving school at the age of 16, Hilary took on a wild range of jobs - including a stint in the Women's RAF - before finally seeking her fortune. The enterprising star eventually sold her house and her car to set up her business Pall-Ex which went on to be worth millions.
