Despite making her first million by the age of 40, the Pall-Ex founder revealed she made her worst money mistake in 2010 – by marrying her last partner property developer Philip Childs:
“The worst [money] mistake I ever made was getting married – certainly the last marriage in 2010. And I’m still paying the price for that. The divorce cost me a lot of money.”
Devey blamed the divorce and personal problems on her ultimate reason for quitting the show, telling the interview:
“I was filming the last series I did of Dragons’ Den during the time [my marriage broke down] which is probably one of the reasons I left the show. It was so hard to put that mask on and be filmed for 12 hours every day. I tried to focus but my mind simply was elsewhere. I felt I was doing a disservice to the BBC and the programme.”
The former investor hasn’t ruled out a return to the show, but said she would wait to see who else had signed up to the programme.Explore more on these topics:
