The lingerie tycoon has revealed that she has turned down a number of previous offers to join the BBC show but she is now seriously considering joining the panel.

Michelle told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "In the past, I've been offered 'Dragons' Den' and I've turned it down due to business commitments.

"But I just feel that after this whole coronavirus crisis is over, we need to be lifted up as individuals -- we need to feel there is a real purpose in life and what we're going to do with our lives.

"I might be open to something that might help to give people inspiration."

Michelle, 48, also revealed she would be interesting in presenting her own TV show.

She said: "What I'd really like to do when this is over is to try to make as many people as ¬positive as possible.

"Maybe one day, that might be by doing a TV show to inspire people instead of all this reality stuff of getting no one anywhere."

Meanwhile, Michelle and billionaire fiance Doug Barrowman - who proposed in 2018 - have postponed their wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Michelle recently told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Everything was done. Five bridesmaids dresses. Seven ushers. Everything was boxed up, ready to go. My dress was ready to step into, and so was an evening gown. Guests were flying in from all over the world, all of our family and friends. It's the biggest dream isn't it -- having everyone together?

"Then, two weeks ago, we got ourselves a gin and tonic and sat down. We both looked at each other and agreed we had to postpone.

"It's heartbreaking, but there was never an option. We could never take a risk with a single one of our guests. Even if it has blown over by then, how could you? You'd never forgive yourself if anything happened."
