Dragon’s Den viewers have ‘tears in their eyes’ after contestant secures ‘best deal’ ever in emotional episode

Dragon’s Den viewers were left ‘in tears’ after watching a contestant secure the ‘best deal’ ever on the show during a very emotional moment on the show.

Millie Flemington-Clare, 25, won the nation’s hearts after sharing the story of her difficult health battle which led her to create her beauty brand Human Beauty.

Describing herself as a ‘4ft 6in pink-haired pocket rocket’, the founder went on revealing she has a rare condition.

‘I have spent most of my childhood and teens in and out of hospital and as a result was bullied for my height, the way I walk and I was tube fed until I was 18.

‘In the last four years I have had two kidney transplants and I ended up in ICU for over three months. But make-up became my therapy.’

In a bid to ‘always wanting to prove to people what I am capable of’, she created Human Beauty, a range that includes products with audio and visual descriptions as well as a mascara that can be applied from any angle to the eye.

Dragon Steven Bartlett was blown away by her ‘inspiring’ story and offered a very unique offer for the entrepreneur that left the other Dragons in shock 

Millie explained that she had watched Dragons’ Den since she was eight and it was a ‘dream for her to be on the show’, adding that ‘I’m just always wanting to prove to people what I’m capable of.’ 

She was on the hunt for a £50,000 investment with a 20 percent share in her business, which celebrates accessibility and inclusion in the beauty industry. 

Dragon Steven Bartlett told her: ‘It’s a really, really inspiring story… As a business case it’s not a financial investment for me so I am going to say that I am out. 

‘But I am willing to invest my time. 

‘I am inviting you to come to my offices in central London, hang out with me and my team we can teach you the dark arts of social media and marketing that you are seeking and hopefully that will give you what you are looking for.’

He was interceded by Dragon Touker Souleyman, who said: ‘If you want any help on the sourcing, I will help you.’ 

Meanwhile, Dragon Peter Jones added: ‘I do think if you look at this, you are individually the definition of human beauty.

‘When Touker develops the products, Steven develops the social media, I am going to tell my team to help you distribute and sell online your products that you develop. That way you get to keep all of your company, which you deserve.’
