Fashion mogul Emma Grede returns as the guest Dragon on tonight’s episode of Dragons’ Den.
She joins Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Sara Davies, Steven Bartlett and Touker Suleyman as a new wave of entrepreneurs enter the Den in search of investment.
They include Sarah Louise Fairburn, a single mum-of-four from Lincolnshire and the founder of food and drink gifting business IMP & MAKER.
Writing ahead of her TV showdown she said: “Last year I received a call from someone claiming to be from Dragons’ Den, asking if I wanted to pitch to the Dragons.
“I thought it was a hoax at first before realising it was genuine. The offer was simple. Did I want to appear in the Den in less than a month’s time?
“I knew IMP & MAKER was part-way through a journey but I’ve always thought you regret the things you don’t do in life – so I said ‘yes’.”

TV personality Jaynika ‘Jay’ McGregor enters the Den seeking investment for her mobile grave-tending service Graceful Graves.
McGregor, who describes herself as a ‘presenter, broadcaster and content creator, admitted she started the award-winning grave cleaning and maintenance service ‘by accident’ after the death of her dad.
She said: “From tending my dad’s grave to building a community of care, it started in grief and turned into grace.
“I know that my dad would be beaming at the fact, that his first-born is on television doing something that honours him.”
The final company featured in tonight’s episode is Yuv Beauty, a cutting-edge beauty tech company specialising in AI-powered hair colour technology and sustainability.
Yuv Beauty’s flagship innovation, the Yuv Lab, is a patented smart device system designed to transform professional hair colouring for salons.
