Dragon: 'I dance like an orangutan'

Rex Features

Dragons' Den tycoon Theo Paphitis has revealed that he rejected an offer to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

The entrepreneur said he and fellow investor Duncan Bannatyne were asked to compete on the BBC show, but he decided against it because of his lack of co-ordination.

He wrote in his autobiography Enter The Dragon: "I was asked to appear on SCD but it's not going to happen.

"Duncan turned it down as he was getting married. But my problem is that I dance like an orangutan with a broomstick up my backside!"
