Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies looked nothing short of sensational in an orange dress as she showed off her incredible weight loss on Instagram.
The businesswoman, 40, has revealed what lifestyle changes she has made to lose weight after dropping an impressive three dress sizes.
Admitting she was ‘mortified’ while on the BBC show when she had to ‘size up’ her dresses, Sara has gone from a size 16 to a size 12.
Sharing a snap of herself ahead of presenting BBC Morning Live last month, Sarah looked amazing in the eye catching midi dress which boasted a flattering V-neckline.
Fans rushed to the comments to say the former Strictly Come Dancing star looked ‘amazing’ and ‘young’ in the number.

‘You look stunning; You look amazing wow!; You look fabulous bright and healthy, young and everything you are; Oh my goodness orange is beautiful on you!; Looking gorgeous’.
Earlier this year, the entrepreneur revealed that she has cut out sugar and increased the amount of vegetables in her diet to help with her weight loss transformation.
Speaking to Closer, she said: ‘I had to size up in all my clothes [on Dragons’ Den], and I was mortified. It was the biggest size I’d ever been wearing, and it really got to me.
‘I stopped having chocolate and cakes, but also cut back on carbs and ate more veg than fruit’.
Sara also revealed that she has stopped drinking alcohol, even when on a night out, to help maintain her incredible figure.
She explained: ‘During filming we go for dinner as a pack of Dragons, and Peter Jones has very nice, expensive taste in wine, but I feel so much better for cutting it out.’
Sara celebrated her 40th birthday in April this year and said for the milestone celebration she is glad she doesn’t have to ‘suck into Spanx’ anymore.

She said: ‘It was my 40th birthday in April and I wanted to be the fittest I’d been since I was 30. I’ve spent half my life sucking myself into Spanx, and now it’s bloody lovely to put on a dress and not have two pairs on underneath!’
It comes after Sara admitted she’s ‘had a tough couple of years’ after it was revealed her company is £1million in the red.
Sara owns Crafter’s Companion and in notes to the accounts for the year to March 2022, the directors describe the period as ‘challenging.’
Revealing how she has had to work ‘harder than ever before’, Sara explained how her business has been affected by the cost of living crisis and Brexit.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said: ‘I’m just going to be really honest, it has been a rough couple of years.
‘I kind of don’t want to shy away from that because I always feel, especially with my role on Dragons’ Den, I’ve got that responsibility of being a bit of a role model.’
Sara continued: ‘I’ve had to work harder than I ever have in my life. We’ve been navigating all the other difficulties – the cost of living crisis, the raw materials cost increases, the energy crisis, war in, plus the effects of Brexit.’
In October 2023, the company’s auditors said: ‘The group and the company has suffered from reduced sales orders post year end and is in breach of banking covenants.

‘As stated … these events or conditions indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the group and company’s ability to continue as a going concern.’
A loan was taken out to prop up Crafter’s Companion in July 2023. Accounts show a loss for the year of £1.27 million, compared with the previous year’s £231,000 profit.
Sara joined Dragons’ Den in 2019, when she was only 35, becoming the youngest dragon.
Crafter’s Companion was founded when she was a university student and spotted a gap in the market for an envelope-making tool which could be used by card makers.
She designed the gadget and had a local joiner make them from MDF. The company now employs more than 190 staff.
Sara has won more than 25 business awards and in 2016 was recognised for services to the economy with an MBE.
