Dragons’ Den Duncan Bannatyne suffers “heart scare”

In not so great news, Dragons’ Den entrepreneur and bigwig Duncan Bannatyne is in hospital following a heart scare. The Scottish TV personality felt unwell at his office, and paramedics were called. He was soon admitted to Darlington Memorial Hospital in County Durham.
His daughter tweeted that her dad, who is 63, was “stable”.
A spokeperson for The Bannatyne Group, the company he runs,  released a statement: “Everyone at the company is very concerned and upset, but we know that Duncan is a very strong person and we are confident he will make a full recovery.”
“Everyone wishes him well. We'd like to thank the quick and professional actions of the paramedics who attended to Duncan and thank the staff at the Memorial Hospital for his on-going care."
The BBC reported that Duncan’s agent confirmed that he’d had a suspected heart attack. Ooh. Nasty stuff, Duncan…
The philanthropist, who has invested millions in the programme since it began, has been part of the series since it began. His family are with him in the hospital.
Get well soon, Duncan!
