Bannatyne: 'I always compete with Peter'

Duncan Bannatyne has said that he and his Dragons' Den rival Peter Jones do not need any encouragement to compete.

The pair will team up with with professional dancers Natalie Lowe and Lilia Kopylova for the one-off Strictly Come Dancing Sport Relief special, which airs on Friday, March 19 on BBC One.

Bannatyne told Metro: "We're competing in the Sport Relief dancing competition but we don't need any encouragement to be competitive.

"There's rivalry over anything that comes up. We go to a lot of events and compete in things such as charity auctions."

Last year, Jones jokingly suggested that Bannatyne would be dangerous if he had "half a brain".
