I love Kelly. "When I opened up my school, teaching school"

[@Big_Old_Bondy]

She's the 'I went to Oxford, not Oxford Brookes' type

[@GennySavastone]

@@Big_Old_Bondy or the type who does her ACCA and tell everyone she has a degree at Oxford but missed the brooks part

[@OMGLOL381]

Ah yes, this school teaches school

She says Yoga Bellies, and the camera focus goes to Peter's belly...😂

[@wolvoman1]

''Would you consider going to 20% when you get your money back'' ? Some time later............ Duncan got his money back, and considered it, but decided not too, oh dear.

A franchise for yoga aimed at pregnant women, can't say I was expecting Duncan to invest... even though I have almost certainly watched this back in the day!🤔

Kelly Hoppen "i can't invest because I'm too busy not investing in other things."

[@The_Real_Mier]

Anyone carrying a yogamat and starting their conversation with “Namaste” is immediately done in by book. When you pretend to be sincere about Yoga and its origins, you should know that “Namaste” is NOT a casual greeting or conversation starter….

[@oosbando]

Been greeted with Namaste in a few countries on my travels so not sure you're right about that. (Sri Lanka, India, Nepal)

[@The_Real_Mier]

@@oosbando I read an article about it, it is considered cultural appropriation because in its original form/meaning it is only used by certain people within the ‘Yoga society’ like real Yogis and only then in certain ways or specific manners. Too much to be more detailed about it in this little comment section. Comes down to the ‘non-respectful’ way (that what I call it when it is disrespectful but not on purpose, rather out of ignorance) it is used by anyone and everyone ‘who burns some incense’ ;)

[@gabhandebrun1871]

I have watched all dragons den I thought then this popped up happy days.

Amusing they each left with a exercise mat ;) Love watching dragons den. Any new series yet ?

Why is Kelly even sitting on that chair? I have never seen her invest

[@caitlinlindsay9137]

she has invested in a total of 3 businesses during her time in the den which is 3 times more than Jenny has ever invested

Here is a top tip: If you also have another established business that is trading and making money, do not mention it to Peter Jones.

[@Maykil107]

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

piers Linny got fed up and stopped doing the show because too many people came on for PR and not investment.

[@M4nvrs]

That's ironic, considering he hardly ever invested!
