‘Subscribe and I’ll invest’: Bonnie Blue announced as newest dragon on Dragons’ Den

A BBC spokesperson said, ‘We’d be fools to ignore her business accumen’


In a shocking twist that even the most seasoned reality TV viewers didn’t see coming, OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has been announced as the newest Dragon on BBC’s Dragons’ Den. Bonnie, best known for risqué business ventures like sleeping with Spring Breakers and stealing married men, will now put her $3 million empire to use. That’s right folks, OnlyFans’ most controversial creator is ditching “barely legal boys” for barely put-together business pitches, and I for one just can’t wait for the chaos. 

The news was only announced this week, but people have already spotted Bonnie out and about purchasing her business attire – from Ann Summers, concerningly. She also told pedestrians she doesn’t need glasses as she has them left over from a recent sexy secretary video.

Let’s get you caught up before Bonnie enters the Den officially in the upcoming series.

The Bonnie Blue X Dragons’ Den collab was announced this week

Deborah Meaden started a business at 19, and Touker Suleyman boasts 50 years in retail and manufacturing, but point to one other Dragon that has slept with 1,000 men in a day – sorry – 12 hours.

Announcing the news, the BBC said: “The BBC is thrilled to announce that entrepreneur and content creator Bonnie Blue will be joining the panel of Dragons for the upcoming series of Dragons’ Den. Known for her sharp business acumen and impressive portfolio, Bonnie brings a wealth of experience from one of the newest money-making industries and an unwavering passion for innovation.”

Bonnie seemed keen to impart her wealth of business knowledge on the next generation of budding entrepreneurs, stating: “Anyone can start a company but show me one other person on this panel who has built a million-pound business using nothing but a ringlight, a Twitter account, and 1057 happy customers. My business might be built on a base of bodily fluids, but there’s a reason everyone in the UK knows who I am.”

It was a fairly toned-down statement for our Bonnie Blue, but she did post “Steven Bartlett could get it” on her Instagram story alongside one of his shirtless snaps.

The news was met by a mixed reaction from the current Dragons, with Deborah Meaden stating: “Love her or hate her, Bonnie has dominated headlines in recent months, and her bank account has thanked her for it. I’m excited – and nervous – to see what comes out of her mouth in the upcoming season.”

“I’ve been following Bonnie Blue’s career over the last few months through Twitter, and I must say she’s got some serious entrepreneurial spirit,” Steven Bartlett said. “Looking forward to developing a working relationship with Bonnie.”

The Dragon’s hiring Bonnie Blue as a guest Dragon is reportedly part of an overarching plan to modernise the show for a younger audience. It’s yet to be seen what other treats they’ve got in store for us, but their official Instagram is now following Lily Phillips.
