FANS of TV's Dragons' Den can catch up with the success story of Bolton entrepreneur Imran Hakim tomorrow.

Mr Hakim, from Astley Bridge, was awarded £140,000 to develop his iTeddy by the BBC2 show's infamous judges in February.

The interactive teddy bear was launched at London Zoo last month. Mr Hakim, aged 29, who scooped the Design, Innovation and Technology award title at this year's Bolton and Bury Business Awards, has also secured a deal with high street retailer Argos.

Viewers can catch up with Mr Hakim's progress in a follow-up, Dragons' Den - Where Are They Now. The show will feature the work Mr Hakim did with "Dragons" Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis.

Mr Hakim, aged 29, said: "It has been mad, but worth it. The programme should be quite a fun airing actually. The launch day was hilarious. We had Theo in an iTeddy suit and the cameras caught everything. "

Dragons' Den-Where Are They Now is on BBC2 at 8pm tomorrow.
