Her first actual go of proper parenting and spending time with her children was failing miserably, so she was about to bow out - she finally comes up with something that allows her to control her own two children and believes she's some parent messiah who can teach the masses how to parent. Then she has the audacity to try to tell the dragon's they don't understand business. What you can see from this is that she is a control freak, who can't 'read the room' .. which doesn't mix well with spending large times with young children, who generally need some flexibility and empathy. And for that reason, I'm out.

I was really rooting for her off the rip, but by the time she left i was like “damn lose the attitude and take the earplugs out honey.” I’m disappointed.

[@jackowens1999]

Safe to say she didn't know her market well after all. Bankruptcy this year and only selling £000's a year and was up to her eyes in debt. In 2018 she only had £23 to her name :(

£8,300 total in cash and bank May 2019. Far from the 750k in one year. If this episode was aired in 2004 (I don't know when it was) she had £2 in her bank. Looks like the highest amount of money she owned as the business was around £72,000 in 2009. Even then, she had to pay around 50% of that, so maximum she made from the business was probably around £40,000.

It was a bit much comparing her product to Mr Men which is a global franchise with sales of over 100 million units. Anyway she went bust earlier this year with £1,323 in debts.
