Dragons’ Den in show first as all five business tycoons invest in company worth just £100 leaving fans gobsmacked
ALL five business tycoons invested in a company worth just £100 in a Dragons' Den show first.
The BBC One business show continued tonight as more hopefuls sought the backing of the dragons.
During the show one couple walked away from an investment of £240,000 from three of the dragons as fans raged.
But in a show first one business received the backing from all five dragons.
Simon and Charlene Mitchell-Hood are the founders of Sooper Books, which they valued at just £100.
It's a book streaming company that offers stories and audiobooks, either for free or for a subscription.

Both entrepreneurs are parents to their daughter Goldie, and it was because of her that they started the venture.
While selling their product to the dragons, the couple said they wanted an investment of just £1 for 1% of the business.
Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies, and Steven Bartlett were all sold on the idea.
Peter asked if his peers could join him against the den wall to discuss the pitch.
All five dragons then offered to invest in Sooper Books for £1 each, giving them a combined share of £5.
"We would love to accept your offer," said a teary Charlene.
Reacting to the scenes at home, one fan said: "5 dragons, pondering a £1.00 investment.. Utter tosh, and a set up."
A second said: "Funny how the camera is eavesdropping the dragons through the window, scripted much or what?"
"The scripted malarkey is ruining this show," said a third.
While a fourth commented: "The f*** was that? Why doesn't everybody just do that from now on? Makes a bit of a mockery of the whole show."
