She said: “I’ve never actually cooked a meal. My husband Paul is fantastic, though.”

The TV star, who is worth £40million, made her first fortune running her family’s holiday park.

She said: “I learned to do a lot of different things quickly, like how to chlorinate a swimming pool, fix a plug, change a gas bottle, drive a tractor and move a caravan.”

Deborah said her “humourless” TV persona means people fear her.

She said: "Because of Dragon's Den people think I'm going to be this humourless, slightly barking individual.

“I point to my wrinkles and say, ‘You don’t get lines like that without laughing a lot.’ ”
