Dragons’ Den contestant reveals his grandfather is a major daytime TV star

THERE was shock on Dragons’ Den when one of the contestants revealed that his grandfather was a favourite on daytime TV.

The last contestant into the Den on the latest episode of the BBC One series was a fresh-faced 18 year old who was seeking investment from the Dragons for his personalised credit card business, Haze Cards.

Myles Dickinson-Brown was dressed sharp as he delivered an effortlessly confident pitch putting his elders to shame.

Instantly taken aback by his pitch and proposition, the Dragons wasted no time in grilling the young entrepreneur but it was a rather interesting answer that raised the eyebrows of most of the business experts.

When Myles was asked about his family life and where his entrepreneurial inspiration has come from he made the stunning admission that his grandfather worked in TV before revealing he was in fact David Dickinson, the host of ITV’s Dickinson Real Deal.

Deborah Meaden went on to ask him: “What does your grandad do on TV?”

He replied: “He does Dickinson’s Real Deal.”

Peter questioned him again by asking him what he does, referring to his role on the programme.

Seemingly confused, Miles told him: “It’s an antiques show on ITV.”

Clarifying he meant his exact role, Sara Davies jumped in guessing that Miles was trying to say his grandfather was David Dickinson before he confirmed, admitting: “Yeah, he’s David Dickinson.”

The revelation left the panellists stunned as well as impressed.

Myles certainly made an impression and three Dragons’ fighting over him and all offering him exactly what he wanted.

However, it was Steven Bartlett that was triumphant after offering Miles to work on the desk next to him in his office alongside his TikTok experts in order to mentor and guide the 18 year old after seeing him as the next big thing.
