The business mogul announced that she would not be part of the BBC show’s next series earlier this month.

Sara Davies has admitted she was “getting to a breaking point” as she revealed the reason she finally decided to quit Dragons’ Den.

The businesswoman, 40, announced that she would be quitting the BBC show on March 7 in a statement on Instagram, revealing that her business was her big priority this year.

“That’s why I’ve taken the decision to step away from the Den for now, to focus on my own business, which was my first baby,” she said at the time. “So I won’t be filming with the team this year for the next series.”

Many fans were devastated by the news, announcing that Sara was their favourite Dragon and the show would not be the same without her. However, they congratulated her on making strides with her business and wished her well in her new endeavours.

The business mogul was welcomed onto Loose Women today to talk about her future away from Dragon’s Den, and ended up providing a little more insight into why she felt it was the right time for her to leave the show behind.

Sara explained that there is a lot more work that goes into being a Dragon behind the scenes than fans realise, and she did not feel able to prioritise that anymore.

She added : “If it’s not actually the filming, it’s that there’s up to a dozen new businesses – they have me on Whatsapp, then they want me to come to board meetings. I want to do it. The problem is, I can’t half do something.

“I’m either in or I’m not in. When I’m in I want to be a big part of their life and a big part of their business. I knew it just wasn’t feasible this year – it was getting to a breaking point.”

Now Sara is looking forward to focusing on the crafting company she launched in 2005 – which sells sewing products, art supplies, and craft storage items to an international market.

On top of that, Sara has been busy promoting her new book, The 6 Minute Entrepreneur. She did a book tour ahead of its launch on Thursday, March 13, and has responded warmly to the positive reviews she received from readers

It has been rumoured that The Apprentice star Karren Brady might step into Sara’s shoes once she is gone, as Card Player have named her the favourite to become the businesswoman’s replacement.

Viewers who are dreading watching Dragon’s Den without Sara do not need to worry just yet, as she has already filmed the second half of this year’s season of the show, and promised loyal audiences they will be able to see her on screen once more.
