While Dragons' Den has seen the rise of many success stories, some past participants have faced crushing lows. Following the investment, Emmie told Worcester News: 'The experience was terrifying, we got to the studio at 7am and were put in a little room with the other contestants. It comes as two entrepreneurs who appeared on Dragons' Den have raked in an eye-watering £11million just one year after bagging a £75k investment on the BBC show. However, it wasn't easy for the founders to win their way through the Dragon's Den application process, and it took them three attempts to successfully land a chance to pitch to the Dragons'. Dragons' Den airs on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
