Here’s a full list of the ones that got away… Tangle Teezer Now in every salon and in plenty of people’s showers too, the Tangle Teezer was pitched as a quick and pain free way of easily detangling knotted hair without damage by entrepreneur Shaun Pulfrey. Shaun hoped to impress the Dragons when he starred on the show in 2007 - but was disheartened to find that not a single one was interested.
Dragon James Caan even branded the brush “a waste of time” while Deborah Meaden likened it to a “horse brush”. Undeterred, Shaun launched his product anyway and its’ since gone on to sell more than 50 million brushes worldwide.The entrepreneur sold his stake in the business for £70 million in 2021, making him richer than Deborah - so Shaun clearly got the last laugh.
Oppo Oppo Ice Cream was pitched to the Dragons in 2016 by brothers Charlie and Harry Thuillier who were certain that they had found their million pound idea in low-calorie “guilt-free” ice cream.The Dragons weren’t sold, though, and deemed the business “too risky” to invest in. It proved to be the wrong judgement as less than five years later Oppo is estimated to have a value of

The judges of Celebrity Bake Off were left in stitches after Paddy McGuinness accidentally made a rude showstopper for his bake.The 49 year old Top Gear presenter was intending to make a sweet replica of Barrow Bridge Chimney, which is a historic landmark of his hometown of Bolton, but it came out looking rather phallic. Paddy told judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith: “What I was looking to do is give you Bake Off’s biggest erection - and I feel as though I have achieved that.” Earlier on as he made his dessert, Paddy had realised its phallic resemblance, and when his biscuit collapsed, he quipped: “A shaft has collapsed…story of my life.” Loose Women's Coleen Nolan, who is also appearing on the show, didn't miss an opportunity to dig him out, as she peered at his creation and said: "What the hell is that?" Paddy replied only half-joking as he said: "That's nice isn't it? That's encouraging.

Drew Barrymore is speaking up for herself after Hugh Grant insulted her singing in their 2007 film "Music and Lyrics." While promoting his new movie "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," Grant answered a series of questions based on Google searches of his name, and one of them asked if he really sang in his movie with Barrymore, to which he replied, "Yes, I do, but I'm auto-tuned beyond belief." He then corrected himself, saying, "Actually, that's not true, I'm auto-tuned a bit, not as much as some. Drew Barrymore was in that film with me, and I don't think she'd mind me saying her singing is just horrendous … I've heard dogs bark better than she sings." He did add that "Once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me because she's got heart and voice and rock and roll, whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews, and I'm meant to be kind of rock and roll as well." His insult toward Barrymore seemed good-natured, and in an Instagram video she made in response, she followed suit.
