Overview
- Touker Suleyman announced on Saturday that he has decided to step down from Dragons' Den after about ten years on the show.
- He said his final episodes will air later this year and that he will concentrate on mentoring entrepreneurs and sharing five decades of business experience.
- During his tenure since 2015 Suleyman invested more than £3 million in on‑show deals, including stakes in Tru Tension, Gener8 Ads, Mood Bears and BodyXCore.
- Fellow Dragons and guest contributors publicly praised his contribution in social media responses and the BBC’s commissioning executive thanked him for his distinct blend of commercial skill and warmth.
- His departure creates a vacancy on the long‑running programme and signals a planned refresh of the panel as the show seeks new investors to take his place.
