Dragons’ Den star in heart attack scare

Scottish entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne last night said he hoped to be discharged from hospital today after being rushed in with a suspected heart attack.

The 63-year-old Dragons’ Den star was in Darlington Memorial Hospital after he fell ill at the headquarters of his gym business in the town.

He was well enough to send messages from his bed to his 540,000-plus followers on Twitter, telling them: “Hi. In hospital attached to a few wires feeling tired but am sure I will be discharged tomorrow fit & well (fit as a pensioner can be anyway).”
