Jamie Laing, 38, an Oxford-born entrepreneur, broadcaster and Made in Chelsea star, will join BBC's Dragons' Den as a guest Dragon in 2027. He attended Radley College near Abingdon and has built a career spanning reality television, broadcasting, podcasting and business.

Laing will appear alongside returning main Dragons Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, alongside returning investors Susie Ma, Gary Neville and Jenna Meek. His appointment comes as long-standing Dragon Touker Suleyman leaves the show after 10 years.

Laing said he was 'incredibly excited' to join the show and wanted to be 'the Dragon who does believe' in entrepreneurs. He said: 'Building businesses has been such a huge part of my journey, and I know first-hand what it feels like when people don't believe in your idea. I can't wait to bring my own perspective to the Den, ask the right questions, share what I've learned, and help the entrepreneurs we meet take their businesses to the next level.'
