Lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone, who lives in the Isle of Man with her tycoon partner, has held secret talks to join popular TV show Dragons’ Den, it has been reported today (Saturday)

According to the Sun newspaper the baroness is keen to take a chair on the long-running BBC Two business series because she wants to give ’inspiration’ to people.

The 48-year-old who founded designer underwear brand Ultimo before selling the company in 2014, says she has been approached several times by programme bosses.

The report has also been picked up by other UK media outlets including the Mail.

Baroness Mone is reported by the Sun to have said: ’In the past, I’ve been offered Dragons’ Den and I’ve turned it down due to business commitments.

’But I just feel that after this whole coronavirus crisis is over, we need to be lifted up as individuals - we need to feel there is a real purpose in life and what we’re going to do with our lives.

’I might be open to something that might help to give inspiration.’

Baroness Mone is living in the Isle of Man with her fiance Doug Barrowman at their mansion. Earlier this week she was interviewed by Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and Mr Morgan said she was in the island.

Doug Barrowman is the founder and chairman of the Knox Group of Companies in the island.

In Dragons’ Den budding entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas.
