Dragons' Den star: 'I didn't get presents'

NEARLY all his wealth is tied up in cryptocurrency and he can't remember getting a Christmas present after the age of five, just two of the recent revelations from Plymouth's omnipresent TV celeb and entrepreneur Steven Bartlett.

The Dragons' Den panellist has, via a series of media interviews, shed even more light on his upbringing in Britain's Ocean City and where his personal wealth of £25m is tied up. Here are 12 new disclosures from the Plymouth-raised business brain:

1. Bartlett has revealed the straitened circumstances of his upbringing, saying he never enjoyed family holidays, birthdays or Christmases past the age of 10, and said the last Crimbo present he can remember receiving was when he was five.

2. Bartlett's The Diary of a CEO podcast has been a major hit, regularly topping the UK charts, with 6.6million streams a month and nabbing £1m a year in advertising revenue.
