DRAGONS' Den success star Sharon Wright will be back soaking up the limelight on national television this month.

And her whirlwind MagnaMole invention also sees her ready to appear on an Oprah Radio show, writing a book, negotiating major deals in North America – and fighting off potential suitors!

Sharon, the 39-year-old single mother whose stunning performance on the Dragons' Den TV show has generated interest across the world, is still working a seven-day week to keep up with the way things have taken off.

Following her success on Dragons' Den, which saw all the Dragons wanting to invest in her MagnaMole cable threading invention, she has had 7,000 emails.

These include enquiries from 12 countries about the product, requests for her to appear as a guest speaker, messages from people who have found her an inspiration, and others from those asking for a date.

On Wednesday, September 30, Sharon will be featured on a Dragons' Den: On Tour programme at 9pm on BBC 2.

The programme will see Dragons, who have invested in businesses, going round to catch up with the progress they are making.

Duncan Bannatyne, one of the two Dragons who made an investment in Sharon's business, will be seen with her in the Nottingham factory where her products are made and then interviewing Sharon in her office at Scunthorpe's Queensway Business Centre.
