Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett mocked by Loose Women fans over behaviour

He was on the show for a Soccer Aid special today

Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett joined the Loose Women panel today (June 9).

However, the star of the BBC show appeared to be a little divisive among viewers.

Some took to Twitter after his appearance with a complaint about his behaviour, but it has to be said that some thought he was a very welcome addition to the show.

As fans of Dragons’ Den will know, entrepreneur Steven has done pretty well for himself.

And, at the age of just 29, he is the youngest-ever Dragon on the show.

He’s also the CEO of his own company – and viewers seemed a little irked by the number of times he mentioned it.

‘OMG you’re a CEO?!’

One Loose Women viewer tweeted: “OMG are you a CEO???? Do you have a business??? You haven’t mentioned it at all!”

‘Good to see Loose Women mixing it up’

However, many other Loose Women fans gave the Dragons’ Den star the respect he rightly deserves.

“Steven is such a clever, insightful guy I could listen to his wisdom all day. He should be a mentor for our young,” said one.

Another agreed and called for the guys to appear more often.

“It’s good to see Loose Women mixing it up today & including men on the show,” they said.

Some did joke, though, that Steven could talk for England.

Echoing the comments of others on social media, one joked: “This fella can talk for hours – more than the Loose Women do.”
