What a shame after four successful seasons that  James Caan has stepped down from the panel of Dragons Den. Described by the media as the calmest and most sincere of the Dragons, the shows producers will surely have a task on their hands in replacing him.

After being notoriously slow to invest in his first season on the show, his first investment of a total of 14 came when he backed a product from a line of dog treadmills branded 'FitFurLife', after vowing to invest in the first presentation on that particular show. His presence on the show will missed, and it will be very interesting to see which fresh face from the world of entrepreneurship will fill his shoes.
