DRAGONS' Den is set to return to BBC One next week, with Taunton-born entrepreneur Deborah Meaden once again taking her seat in the famous Den.
The long-running business programme will return on Thursday, August 20, when a new batch of aspiring entrepreneurs attempt to secure investment from some of Britain's best-known business figures.
Among those returning is Meaden, who was born in Taunton and has become one of the show's most recognisable Dragons since joining the programme in 2006.
The latest episode will see entrepreneurs pitch a range of products, including water-saving hair care solutions and handcrafted spice blends, as they seek backing from the panel.
Meaden will be joined by fellow Dragons Peter Jones and Steven Bartlett, alongside a series of guest investors including former footballer Gary Neville, musician Tinie Tempah, entrepreneur Susie Ma and beauty business founder Jenna Meek.
The BBC confirmed the show's return earlier this month, telling viewers that the Dragons are "back in business" for the next instalment of the current series.
Over the years, Meaden has become one of the UK's most prominent business personalities, investing in dozens of companies through the programme and building a reputation for championing sustainable and ethical businesses.
Viewers can watch the new episode of Dragons' Den on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 8pm on Thursday, August 20.
