What did you miss?
Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett has said he felt "slapped" in the face by one of the latest stories on the BBC show.
The entrepreneur is an investor on the long-running TV show, which returned for a new series earlier this year. The latest episode sees Ukrainian entrepreneur Yana Smaglo looking for investment in her distribution business, which also supports companies back in Ukraine.
She had to flee her home in just 15 minutes amid the conflict, before heading to the UK with just her backpack and her laptop and starting her successful business. And Bartlett admitted he was blown away by her story.
What, how and why?
Speaking on The One Show, Bartlett said the latest series of Dragons' Den was "really, really incredible". He highlighted Smaglo, who went into the Den looking for an £80,000 investment in return for 10% of her business. "It really slapped me in the face," he said.

"It was one of those days where it was like... we had been filming for six or seven hours that day and in walks this young lady who has built this incredible business and you are judging it on the merits of the business and then you find out the backstory.
"When the war broke out she had 15 minutes to grab her things, she grabbed as many things as she could."
He went on: "She was running a business in the Ukraine, she was doing very well, a graduate, a very academic young woman.
"The bombs start falling, she has 15 minutes to grab her stuff, flees across Europe, loses everything back in the Ukraine, doesn’t have family at all.”
What else did Steven Bartlett say on The One Show?
Bartlett said this series of the BBC show has been a moving one. "I think every year that I am going to get used to it, I am going to get used to the emotion," he explained.
"But I think with a lot of things that have happened in the world, the difficulties we have seen in the economy and some of the conflicts around the world, even that has made its way, those stories have made their way into the Den.

"We do 100 pitches a year and these pitches are sometimes two to three hours long and it's remarkable how on pitch 73, someone can come in and say something and it almost brings you to tears, after you have been sat there for hours and hours and hours.
"And that happens over and over and over again this year."
"Which is incredible and it’s why I love the show so much," Bartlett continued. "Because it’s not just business, it’s the human story that underpins someone’s plight to achieve some great dream which is ultimately an attempt to liberate them from the life they have been living. So it’s remarkable and it’s an honour."
The One Show airs at 7pm on BBC One on weekdays.
Dragons' Den airs on BBC One on Thursdays.
