A DRAGONS’ Den star has spilled all on the behind the scenes secrets from the hit TV show after managing to strike it lucky with two of the show’s panelists.

Matt Kennedy, the Founder and CEO of natural deodorant company Fussy, was left over the moon when his sustainability-focused business managed to land a huge deal with both Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones on the BBC programme back in 2022.

The entrepreneur, and his business partner at the time, managed to haggle the perfect deal which saw 5% split between Deborah and Peter for a cool £50,000 for the refillable single-use plastic deodorants they had created.

Many fans will remember Matt’s memorable pitch when he burst out of a wheelie bin – much to the surprise of the business panel.

With the business still going strong, and an exciting new promotional campaign having just launched, Matt has now shared what it was really like behind the scenes of the hit BBC show.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Matt admitted that before heading into the infamous Den to face a grilling from the business titans, he and his business partner were forced to do a practice run-through in front of a set of ‘fake dragons’.

Matt recalled: “We did have a big rehearsal beforehand but that was what we expected.

“But it wasn’t with the Dragons.”

Instead, Matt explained that five members of the production crew stood in for them and that they did not come face-to-face with the real Dragons until the cameras were rolling.

Revealing the eventual discussion with the dragons took a whopping TWO HOURS, Matt said: “Although it is only on screens for 10 minutes in the end, the process is really real.

“It is not like ‘pause, do this’, – it is literally two hours of questioning and pitching like a real investor pitch.

“It’s not made for TV in the sense that it is not scripted, whereas I can imagine some other shows, like The Apprentice, are.”

However, there was one ‘fake’ thing about the process which Matt jokingly admitted left him feeling “outraged”.

The businessman said: “The only thing that wasn’t real that really shocked me was the lift.

“I was outraged, I couldn’t believe it.

“I was convinced that it was a real lift.”

Matt and the Fussy brand have become one of Dragons’ Den‘s biggest success stories with both Deborah and Peter still being involved in the business to this day.

However, it is champion for all things green and sustainability Deborah who remains the most active in the company.

Matt told The Sun: “Peter is still involved but he’s not as active in the business as Deborah.

“I think for Deborah – this is such a key part of her personal brand to be associated with sustainability.

She has even thrown her support towards Fussy once again by making a cameo in their brand new television advert focused around a classic 90s rap battle.

He revealed that Deborah was “really up for” being a part of the rap music video despite it being quite far removed from her usual public endeavors.

Matt said: “She was really up for it and she is always a really good sport.

“I’ll just drop her an email or a WhatsApp and be like ‘I’ve got this really crazy idea’ and she will always give us the time of day.

“She’s really busy but she will always still come, even if it is just for ten minutes or so.

ICONIC 90s group The Fugees were nearly an hour late to the stage in London last night, prompting some frustrated fans to walk out.

Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean took to the stage at the O2 Arena, minus bandmate Pras Michél who is locked in a legal battle with Hill, close to 10pm.

The delayed start led the reunited group to play beyond the 11pm curfew by around 25 minutes, with them continuing on with the house lights on.

One fan shared from the arena: “Lauryn Hill concert O2 London. We have been here since 7:30. It is 9:35pm and Ms Hill still hasn’t come on stage. Ridiculous.”

Another said: “Did she finally come on? I got sick of waiting and left.”

A third shared: “I work at the o2 she was an hour late great performance though.”

A fourth shared: “First gig of the week: Lauryn Hill / Fugees…unsurprisingly she was late (again)…so disrespectful of her fans…venue was a third empty by the end as lots of people had to leave catch last train / tubes home.”

Those who did stick around for the entire show were full of praise for the duo’s performance though, with some branding it “once in a lifetime”.

That could well be the case as an ongoing feud between Hill and Pras over allegations of fraud and contract breaches has driven a seemingly irreversible wedge between the two founding members.

Pras called his bandmate “narcissistic and arrogant”, and claims “fictitious expenses” from the band’s 2023 tour had a serious impact on profit margins.

The band postponed tour dates last year after Hill suffered “serious vocal strain”, however, this summer later further shows were axed in the US due to “gross mismanagement”.

Pras and Hill have also clashed over a lucrative offer made to the group earlier in the year.

It is alleged Coachella Festival organisers offered The Fugees $5million to perform, but Hill declined without consulting her bandmates after learning they wouldn’t be headlining.

A statement filed by Pras’ legal team states: “The reason was that her ego was bruised since the group No Doubt would be receiving top billing over The Fugees the night of their show.

“Hill never told Pras about the offer or that she had rejected it. Pras only learned about it when it was too late, after Hill, in an astonishing display of hubris, asked Pras if he would agree to perform a few Fugees songs for free as the opening act for her son, YG Marley, who was slated to perform at the same Coachella festival.”

Pras also claimed Hill only agreed to the full scale reunion to make up for poor solo show sales, something she vehemently denies.

Hill hit back at the claims, labelling them “baseless” and “full of unwarranted attacks”.

She suggested Pras’ decision to sue her stemmed from his own legal troubles last year when he was found guilty of illegal lobbying in the States.

Hill also claims she allowed Pras an advance of £2.3m from tour sales to help with his legal fees.

“I was not in Pras’s life when he decided to make the unfortunate decision that led to his current legal troubles,” she said.

“I did not advise that he make that decision and therefore am in no way responsible for his decision and its consequences though I have taken it upon myself to help. Despite his attacks, I am still compassionate and hope things work out for him.”

The group only has two studio albums, though second LP, The Score, has cemented them as R&B pioneers thanks to hit singles Killing Me Softly and Ready or Not.

It has sold an estimated 22million copies worldwide since its release in 1996.

Hill would release her one and only solo record two years later, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, landing another number one and a Grammy for Album of the Year.

MANCHESTER UNITED ace Joshua Zirkzee has been tipped for a loan move to Juventus in the January transfer window.

Zirkzee, 23, joined United last summer following a £36.5million deal with Bologna, where he shone bright with a total of 12 goals and seven assists in 37 appearances last season.

The striker has only played seven times with the Red Devils in the Premier League so far this term and has only scored once across all competitions.

But West Ham legend Paolo Di Canio suggested it would be best if the Netherlands international was loaned out to Juve, despite the fact it’s still early doors and the player hasn’t had enough time.

Di Canio believes the Dutchman is “a bit too slow” for the Premier League, even though he’s still getting used to his new challenge.

The ex-Juventus star added that the success he already experienced in the Serie A would help manager Thiago Motta as he has different characteristics to star striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Di Canio told TuttoSport: “For the Premier League he is a bit too slow, then maybe he will prove me wrong with goals and great performances.

“But there they attack you straightaway and whistle 30 per cent less for fouls. In Italy, we have seen what impact the player had in Bologna.

“In the end, in the confusion that there is at United, they could also give him on loan.

“They already have [Rasmus] Hojlund, then there is [Marcus] Rashford who is playing in that position.

“He would be the perfect profile, also because it would allow Motta to have a striker with different characteristics to Vlahovic.

“But I would start the negotiations now. A loan with maybe the possibility of redeeming him.

“Zirkzee is not a devastating scorer, he is not one to score 25 goals, but he makes the others play well.”

A YOUNG woman has revealed worryingly harness sign she had a rare blood cancer.  

Jessica Hamersley, from Essex, noticed a red throbbing splotch on her left shin that kept disappearing and reemerging for over a year.

Her fiancé, William Webber, urged Jessica to get it checked out, fearing it may be related to her contraceptive pill[/caption]

The 27-year-old, who dismissed it as eczema or a shaving nick, assumed it was merely irritated by her perfumed moisturiser and would disappear on its own. 

It was only after her fiancé urged her to get it checked out, fearing it may be related to her contraceptive pill, that she sought medical advice. 

When a second pill failed to get rid of the rash she was referred for an X-ray in October 2023, which revealed a mass on her chest.

Subsequent biopsies in February found Jessica had Hodgkin lymphoma – a rare cancer that starts in the white blood cells.

A PET scan in March also showed the mass on her chest was more than seven inches in size and had been “crushing” her heart. 

Recalling the ordeal, Jessica said: “I sometimes use perfumed moisturiser and sometimes with eczema that can cause my skin to have a little bit of a flare up.

“Honestly at the time I didn’t think anything serious of it.

“I thought maybe it was a flare-up on my leg or I caught myself when I was shaving. You never think of cancer.

“A rash on my leg literally saved my life.

” I don’t smoke, I only drink really rarely when I go out.

“So I was thinking, I’m perfectly healthy, why would I get cancer?

“I had no cough, when I saw the chest x-rays I thought oh my god that was sitting on my chest but I felt fine. It’s really strange.

“I was so healthy. I actually feel more unwell from the chemo than I did before. I felt completely healthy with all the tumours.

“I even remember when I went to the x-ray room I said to the radiologist, ‘this is really dramatic, I’m sorry for wasting your time’.

“Usually with Hodgkin lymphoma, you can get loads of other symptoms. I had nothing.”

Hodgkin lymphoma occurs when infection-fighting white blood cells called B-lymphocytes multiply in an abnormal way and collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system. 

This can cause a painless swelling in a lymph node, usually in the neck, armpit or groin. 

Other symptoms include a persistent cough, a fever, night sweats and weight loss. 

Around 2,600 people in the UK are diagnosed each year, meaning it accounts for fewer than one per cent of cancers.

In the US, 8,800 cases are spotted annually.

Jessica had no other unusual symptoms[/caption]

According to Cancer Research UK, almost 85 per cent of those with cancer will survive for five years or more after diagnosis. 

Jessica was diagnosed with stage 2A Hodgkin’s lymphoma, meaning the lymphoma was in two or more groups of lymph nodes but there were no typical symptoms. 

She also claimed her consultant at the Princess Alexandra Hospital told her the rash on her leg was erythema nodosum, a condition that causes fat tissue to be inflamed.

This usually goes away by itself but can sometimes be a sign of something serious like an inflammatory bowel condition, such as Crohn’s disease, according to the NHS. 

The skin usually heals on its own within three to eight weeks without leaving a scar.

But other symptoms, such as joint pain and swelling, can last for several weeks.

‘I thought they had the wrong scan’

Jessica said: “When I spoke to the consultant about it [the rash] he said it’s a really weird way of your body telling you there’s something wrong inside.

“I thought maybe it was triggered with stress. But they said it [the mass] was crushing my heart.

“It was all crazy. I just froze really. I was with my partner and I feel like I zoned out, I wasn’t really listening.

“The whole time they were doing tests they said the worst possibility is cancer so my brain never went there.

“I thought they had the wrong scan.”

She added: “I cried when I was told I was going to lose my hair. Now it’s growing back so it doesn’t phase me as much, I’m used to it.

“But you just kind of go into fight or flight mode and it was just survival. It was just “what’s next? What do we do?”‘

‘I looked horrible’

After beginning an aggressive course of chemotherapy in the Spring, in August she was thankfully declared cancer-free. 

“It happened so quickly. But my consultant said that if you lose your hair quickly it’s a very good sign that the chemo is working,” Jessica said. 

“I looked horrible being bald but that’s what I was clinging to. I was like “oh my god it must be working then”.’

To celebrate being cancer-free, she is now going on holiday to Disneyworld Orlando with her fiancé, William Webber.

She said: “That weight just lifted off of me and all of my family’s shoulders.

“[William] He’s just been amazing. He’s been my rock through it all.

“All through chemo all we ever spoke about was how much of a good time it would be if we went to Disney together.

“I’m going to go celebrate in the happiest place on earth.

“I’m still very out of breath and I feel like my joints are still very weak because I got arthritis from the chemotherapy in my hips and spine.

“I’m just so glad it was caught early and the treatment was less than it would have been. I’m very grateful to that GP.’

‘You’re never promised tomorrow’

Jessica, who was working in customer service before her diagnosis, is now recovering from her treatment and building her stamina back up before going back to work.

She will still need to have follow-up scans and blood tests every few months to check the cancer has not returned.

Now, she is urging anyone concerned by their unusual symptoms to seek medical assistance as soon as possible.  

“Life is so short and you don’t realise that until something like this happens,” she added.

“You’re never promised tomorrow and that’s such a big quote that sits in my head now.

“Cancer completely changes your perspective on life. I used to get angry if someone cut me up when I was driving and now I’m just thinking let it go.

“I just let everything go now. It’s never that deep now, it’s never that important anymore.”

PRINCESS Diana’s brother Charles Spencer confirmed that he is in a relationship with Norwegian archaeologist Cat Jarman, who is his podcast co-host.

Earl Spencer, 60, revealed in June that he was divorcing his third wife Countess Karen Spencer, who he married in 2011.

However, the dad-of-seven confirmed to hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today that he has found love again with Cat.

Charles appeared on the show to promote his new book, The Rabbit Hole Book: 99 adventures into the history of stuff, which he co-wrote with his podcast co-stars Cat and the Reverend Richard Coles, who starred on Strictly.

He said: “Cat Jarman, who is my partner now actually, but she’s a brilliant archaeologist.

“It sounds like an Alan Partridge title, but she is a Nordic Person of 2024, which is usually handed out to someone like Sven-Göran Eriksson or a composer to be Nordic Person of the Year. 

“You have to be respected throughout all Scandinavian and Nordic countries, and she totally is.”

Charles was asked about how he met Cat, and he replied: “Well, first of all, I met her because we both have the same publisher. 

“But secondly, I know this sounds rather bizarre, but she came to dig up a Roman villa on the land I’ve got. 

“And then Richard Coles, Cat and I would end up together. 

“Richard had been recently bereaved, so he’s semi living with me, and the three of us would just talk and talk and talk. 

“And Kat said, ‘let’s do a podcast’. And after the podcast came this book.”

Charles recently hinted at their relationship in an interview with The Times.

Speaking of his bond with Cat, he said: “We are close,” after being asked “Very close?”, he replied: “Well, close enough.”

Cat is currently separated from her husband, with whom she shares two children.

Early meeting

Back in 2021, Cat shared a photo next to Charles at his Althorp Estate, in West Northamptonshire, which was Princess Diana’s childhood home.

She wrote: “Exciting news! I’m finally allowed to share that this summer, @charles.earl.spencer asked me to help him search for the lost medieval village in the park of his Althorp estate.

“With a brilliant team of volunteers and my colleague prof Mark Horton, we spent two weeks digging five trenches searching for it. 

“The results will be shown on Channel 4 on the 15th November at 9pm in the programme Ancient Secrets of Althorp with Charles Spencer.”

Charles Spencer

At the time Charles was married to Karen Gordon, a Canadian philanthropist and founder of the Whole Child charity, who Charles wed in June 2011 after they met having been set up on a blind date at a Los Angeles restaurant the year before.

The pair married in the grounds of Althorp, where Diana is buried, four months after Charles proposed.

They had one daughter together, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, who was born in 2012 and has been raised at Althorp.

Charles’ recent divorce

Charles said in June he was going through an “immensely sad” divorce from his third wife.

He said he wanted to devote himself to his children and grandchildren, and told the Mail on Sunday: “It is immensely sad.

“I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future.”

It was reported he had hired lawyer Fiona Shackleton – who advised the then-Prince Charles during his divorce from Princess Diana in 1996 – to represent him during the divorce.

Kate wrote on Instagram in August that she was looking to move out of Althorp and find somewhere else to live.

She wrote: “I’m currently still at Althorp, and as we move into the fall, I look forward to closing this chapter out with you all and launching the next.”

Marriage breakdown

It is believed their marriage deteriorated in recent years with the strain of the Earl’s memoir, A Very Private School, where he detailed the physical and sexual abuse he suffered while at boarding school.

In the book he claims he was abused by an assistant matron at Maidwell Hall when he was a child in the 1970s.

Charles is father to Lady Kitty Spencer, twins Eliza and Amelia Spencer and Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, with his ex-wife Victoria Aitkin.

The Earl, is also dad to Edmund and Lara, who he shares with his second wife Caroline Freud.

Relationship trauma

In an interview with the Therapy Works podcast in March Charles said that being abused as a child had a huge impact on this choice of romantic partners in adulthood, adding he was left susceptible to women who were incapable of loving him.

He told the podcast: “I think I went for good-looking people who weren’t really into love.

“I’m having a good look at myself and everything around me and I think I would be a lot easier to live with now than I ever have been in the past.”
