- Amy Wordsworth is pitching her superfruit toiletries for children. She's seeking an investment of £60,000 in return for a 15% equity stake. The young entrepreneur started the business after research led her to discover that there were “increasing concerns about the safety of ingredients in personal care products” but Nick Jenkins lays out the facts...
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

I like that Deborah made sure she was alright before going straight back to grilling her.
did she? she didn't actually ask if she was alright
She handled the grilling really well, at least she didn't argue with them. I think that's why Deborah gave her a chance, she was really absorbing all the advice she was being given
She looks like she's about to burst out crying for the whole thing
Looks like she is totally stressed out with nerves.
@Dain Hahahahaha
@Dain Exactly my thoughts.
@Dain beautifully put
@Dain One eye on the mantle piece and one up the chimney
Good bubble is now worth 2million. Kudos to Amy and Deborah🔥
Fantastic - and this is the sort of person and product they should be helping - amazing
PS - love Deborah
And the branding isn't even that different today!
Mainly debby. I mean without, Amy was sunk and gone with the 1000s who do not get that help. We wonder why things are so bad, we have millions of great products that could really give us value for money, but nope, they all fail because the big boys who milk us all dry, push them out.
I looked Good Bubble up- it's really cool to see this business succeeded- she's a really smart woman and she clearly deserved this success.
How much profit is it making a year ?
I use her products for my son . Very good and gentle on hair and skin .
Is 3.99 really all that expensive for a specialty shampoo? Seems cheap to me but what do I know
Im no marketing expert and i don't know general pricing of natural shampoo products.
However, going with a big brand name like dove, for that much money i could probably get 3 to 4 times as much shampoo or soap. Now again, that's just general, run of the mill shampoo but that might why she thought it was a high price.
Honestly, the branding looks cheap and they're pretty small bottles. I might pay £4.00 or over for my shampoo because my hair is super thick and hard to manage, but for my kids I just need something that cleans their hair well and leaves it shiny.
That said, none of mine have ever had skin conditions or allergies.
I agree. I was like "yeah reasonable" when she said it.
for a baby product maybe yes
It's not. I don't think That woman knows anything about shampoos lol. They're too rich to shop for themselves.
Good bubble is a success. It’s in boots now and I see many shoppers buy it.
Delighted to hear that...
Has it been totally rebranded as deborah suggested or is it still pretty similar?
@@thedunyadoneya2628 Yes it's been rebranded and the price lowered from £4 to £3
I’m glad things turned out well for her
@· that shows their net worth went from 10K to 130K....?
"I feel lightheaded..."
Wheelchair girl sues for copyright infringement.
lol
Bruh
Hahahahaha
Eh?
She should eat more.
They should rebrand it to "Deborah Meaden's lovely jubbly bubbly time"
'I am an independent women' but I'm currently not an independent woman because I'm not independent.
And for that reason, I'm out. - Artist formerly known as Jenny
RiverDanube agreed I was thinking the same thing
Literally every woman in their 30s still living at home
And she wants to start her life of independence by sharing her business with an investor...
Me
Deborah: you've got no business
Entrepreneur: *dies*
Lmao but seriously though
🤣🤣🤣
She's got one now! It's now a multi million dollar business...
lol
Why the hell did Touker say "he’s out" like he’s gonna cry? 😂😂
Mayowa Adegoke he had got some shampoo in his eye? XD
Probably because she looked like she was going to cry so he wanted to say it softly
He's such a drama queen 😂
Because Touker has high emotional intelligence. Apparently, it's the best trait to have to be successful in business with many people working for you.
@@benrobinson5839 And a lot of spare office space. 😂
The two ways a pitch can go: ''Your valuation is ludicrous, you aren't giving away enough equity'' and ''It's barely a business but you aren't asking for enough''.
mhmmm
"Umm...Sorry, I just got quite lightheaded"
Everyone asks how to help.
"Umm....an investment would probably make me feel better"
Cynical nonsense. She wins over the most ruthless and unpersuasive Dragon.
Lmao
Build her a lightheaded room in two-point hospital to help her
@@andrewstubbs822 Maybe stop using those big, multisyllabic words you don't quite grasp the meaning of.
@@wintermute8315 Make no noise all year round, not just at Yule, my dear friend. None at all! At least aim to please. 'Yule' thank me for it, ultimately! (Or, 'in the end' if you get me?) 😉
Brought a tear to my eye seeing how much she wanted this. Amazing she got an investment!
BIG RESPECT to the Dragons, especially towards Touker and Sarah, how they can quickly treat a fellow business person when she felt light headed. It’s good to see that they still have empathy to others and not see themselves as sort of better then them.
Best thing about the video. I actually rewinded to see that bit again. The way Touker offered and dragged his own chair.
not debora or peter tho lol
Touker and Sarah are generally much more empathic than the others.
they're so cute, Sarah panicked so much she forgot to put her notebook down and Touker is the biggest gentleman in the room, he couldn't give her that chair faster.
@@ShadowfinderMusicI don't think sweatshop Suleyman is that empathetic
0:20 - I've been supported by a very loving family.
0:28 - I'm an independent woman.
those things aren't contradictory
Who talks like that?!?😦. It's like a slogan of some cheesy tampon advert.
@@johnsmith-wx5fb yeah because tampons and loving families go two and two right? 🤣🤣🤣
Jack M. They kind of are because at that moment she depends on her family for financial support making her dependent. If she was independent she wouldn't need support like that from others and would earn her own money. I don't see how they are not contradictory.
It's Beyonce's fault.
'All you women who independent, throw your hands up at me'. and
'Can you pay my bills, if you did then maybe we could chill'.
She's a nice lady, but she's making me anxious lol, she's a ball of nervous energy
I know what you mean.... still bang it though
Go watch Aubrey Plaza hahaha she makes a career out of it 😂
@@tonybrown3184 What is it to be a woman! Creeps 😔🙄
Tony I loled at your comment. 😂 And I agree.
@@originalrenigade ;p
She looked like she was going to burst into tears.
Im glad DMmade the offer and glad she accepted.
She had me in the 1st 5 seconds at super bubbly bubble bath. I literally spent the next 5 minutes trying to say it as fast as she did 5 times in a row
I heard she sells seashells by the seashore.
She is so nice and the business is doing well now. Good work!
Peter looks so bored...shampoo investment lol
Cause his hair is fake now. lol
He looked worried or likely concerned when she felt light headed.
He even looked at the camera to try a Jim face lol
I just want to give her a big hug, she looks so sad :(
"I'm Jenny and I'd like to make you an offer for all the money."
Jenny wakes up. "My god, what a nightmare".
And if you look to your left, you'll see this comment again.
Jenny wasn't even in this episode!
🤣🤣🤣
The good old light headed feeling when put under the slightest bit of pressure
The nicest most genuine product pitcher ever on the show.
Bless her lovely lady just wanted to give her a huge hug ❤❤
Lol remind me of the other women wheel chaired out with a banana 😂😂
In the wheelchair she brought with her for the pitch! 😂😂😂
Not quite the same, the one with the banana had a low sugar episode due to Type 1 Diabetes.
I found this one more genuine. I can imagine a person getting lightheaded at being told "you have no business". The other woman got lightheaded when she was asked about her accounts.
@@RealityCheck6T9 true this is totally different .. we have a qoman here who is totally independent .. gave away almost half her practically non existent company .. and basically looses her cool when she feels scruitinised ... and yeah she looks symetric shall we say ... i rest my case ... ( i do realuse i could actually like her if i got to know her .. this was just pure observation and the fact she mentions independance at first ..)
Now there's a pub down our road called the Wheelchair and Banana!
What a strong determined young woman. I really liked how she managed to compose herself and get a deal with Deborah after feeling unwell. 👋👋👋
Debra wasn’t gunna invest but she felt bad for her 100%
Amy is a very likable woman, felt sorry for her when she had her little moment. You never know how you are going to react when faced with that kind of pressure if you haven't before.
Little moment? Perfectly timed manipulation move.
Who Amy is in real life is irrelevant, this is a meme now
@@johnsmith-wx5fb I doubt that at all, it's very hard to do something like Dragons Den and everyone is different with their confidence levels. When you have a company and your getting several people saying it's not gonna succeed or it's too small it can hit you hard and that's what happened here.
@@johnsmith-wx5fb but what could possibly be the purpose of such a "manipulation"?
would anyone really expect to manipulate an investor into parting with their money just by faking dizziness?
@@vibovitold what could be the purpose? Ha ha it might not bag the deal alone but if you combine the little girl voice the angst ridden face and the blackout, now you're talkin
This one got me teary-eyed! Good for her. It is a success today too!
She seems really nice, but sounds as though she wants to burst into tears at any moment. I want to give her a big hug.
Glad she is doing good, her business is worth over $2 million now.
I was so pleased this deal went through for Amy. Such a lovely girl and Good Bubble is now a successful business 👍👏
2:57 Entrepreneur’s response is straight out of a rom com. So breathless 😂
"Your marekting and promotion is sh*te. What's your strength?"
"Marketing and promotion."
I like him but I always hate how Touker says "I'm out", he always does it in a patronising manner.
You can tell he's got an ego for himself.
It’s the Muslim in him.
Technicallyimright Funny how you found a way to link it to Islam without any reason, this shows you have an irrational hatred towards Muslims.
Technicallyimright it’s not your fault. Blame your narrow minded parents.
@@TechnicallyimrightMate, why bring religion into this? I'm from a family wwith an Irish Catholic dad and an English protestant mother, they can see eye to eye (mostly) so why antagonise folk?
She has a look on her face the entire time as if she were the principal office getting yelled at... but hey, she got an investment, so mission accomplished in the end
Good on you Debra, Amy seems like a lovely woman to be working with, all the best to the exciting venture !
Michaela Coleman I saw a follow-up video of the pair and it was going well!
@@BabylonCentral I saw that also, they seem to work very well together and business is going nicely! Good on them!
its a joke, this lass had rich parents and could have maintained total ownership with an interest free loan from them. Deborah is not involved in the company btw. The product has tried and failed at Boots and is now at low end retailers like Holland and Barrett and Superdrug who will be paying pennies for it. She claimed to be a independent woman who wants to make it on her own.... 30 seconds later she is begging for 60k from strangers then fainting almost. Reality check for you there
@@chipbuttytime3396 your the one who needs the reality check, the deal did go through and Good bubble worth 2 million, H&B aren't low end lol and it's also sold in sainsbury also shes trying to get investment for her product and you have no idea how wealthy her parents are, In reality the fact your putting such a negative spin on it just indicates your jealous.
I used to work in her parents warehouse in Middleton and they are really nice people and every week we were shipping good bubbles
I lived just outside Middleton Junction
This woman reminds me of the characters that Renée Zellweger plays in her films. She even looks like her. 💖💖💖
Debrah: You dont have no business!!
Amy gets reality check, i’m getting so light headed 😂😂😂😂
Business seems to be going well. Boots is one of the major stockists.
Interesting how during the process, Peter just watched and didn't give much away.
it look like the deal went through too.
"Bubbly kids' shampoo entrepreneur gets conditioned into accepting wishy washy offer"
Needs more than 20 likes mate!! :)
@@michaellynn9763so what, he can withdraw them? So he can’t print it off and smile at it?
It’s numbers on a screen, who cares
You could see her world shattered-she thought she was doing brilliantly, but didn't realise just having a product isn't good enough if the labeling isn't right & that what seems huge sales to her are peanuts to them. Deborah would have had to have put a lot of work in so 40% is fair.
Sher didn't negotiate on the 40% at all! 😥
"How do I know the product is good for me?" Well it's GOOD bubbles!
I am so, so glad I Googled the brand and found that it's all still going strong.
“I’m a strong independent woman”
*proceeds to faint during easy questions*
SirBrasstion not hard to outwit a woman.
Utube Allday she didn’t say she was a strong cheese either.
Fake it till you don't make it
But it could have been health issues rather than nerves. Nerves under scrutiny is just the go to excuse for this type of thing. I say that to say, fainting being in front of people who are important to your livelihood really doesn't necessarily take anything away from being a strong nor being an independent woman 😉
*proceeds to show weakness and admits that her family are funding her*
It's a good product however it gives me a sore stomach when I eat it.
Dude, you supposed to drink it!
3,99 pounds is good price! Sarah shops in LIDL ?
You can pick up any big name shampoo for a quid. In quidland
It is expensive
@@johnsmith-wx5fb have you ever tried purchase natural products for a quid 3.99 is a bargain I was shocked when she said it was pricey
This feels like it's a reupload
HotSpot Instrumentals no he means its already been uploaded recently on RUclips , we already know these are old episodes duh
I uploaded it on my channel before but then it was removed for copyright
Deborah: I actually don’t like that branding
Entrepreneur: *faints again*
Narrator: Amy has fainted AGAIN
Once again, natural neither means safer nor healthier.
Although I like that in the UK there are guidelines to using the word natural, whereas in the US anyone can slap a "natural" label on anything and so it quite literally means nothing here.
sharks are natural but im glad they are not in my bottled water lol. they are a bit bitey
@@tanilorn Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.
The deal with Deborah went through. It's allegedly 2 million pounds networth in 2022. The website has c 2022 and looks great. It's not too expensive. We live in a world in which people buy young living toothpaste for 20 Euros
I love these shows but they would be even better if they did a follow up on the deal and show if the product or service worked or failed.
I have been thinking the same myself. The concept itself is great but making a deal based on a short pitch and basic sales numbers is rather far fetched. I assume any deal made in the den is not a binding one ?
@@michaelbrandt5416Nope, plenty of deals have fallen through afterwards on certain terms. It should also be noted that the sessions are way longer than the 10 minutes we're shown on TV, iirc it's 1-2 hours or something.
She's beautiful, so attractive. I also notice her brand is in some of the main retailers so she is on the right path. Well done.
I think a lot of people here are being critical of her in a weird way. She delivered her pitch really well, her products had lovely naming, she stood up to all kinds of questioning extremely well, answered respectfully, really listened to the feedback she got, while still defending her business in a nice way. Yes she was clearly nervous, and it felt like she really had to fight to stay tough, but she handled herself well, and there's nothing wrong with having emotions over what you fight for. It is nerve-wrecking to stand in front of someone who can potentially help you on your way to achieving a dream, and trying to convince them to bet on you. Being nervous and showing your feelings on the matter to me only adds credibility that you really care about it. Especially when you still keep an open enough mind to take in feedback and don't just go super defensive with your emotions. She had strength to compose herself, knew her business and could answer anything they threw at her, and she had the passion for it. I liked her a lot.
And yes you can take the mick out of her for saying she's independent after just having said how she's being supported by her family, but we all knew what she meant was that she has a drive for self-sustainability.
That said I do think that there's a weird cultural obsession with the idea of independence. Being able to be independent is good, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with having people you can depend on.
Agreed
The cultural differences. Living with parents is no big deal in India. We take care of them as they age and actually if you have older parents who aren't keeping well, then that is seen as selfish.
Is that why 20 of you live in 1 house?
@@2288sharingan not as many nowadays. Just 4-5.
Yes but in the uk we have 27 years being looked after buy 60 year old parents.
You live with them because you can’t afford to move out. Don’t try and make out as though you’re morally superior when in reality, you’re just poor.
@@Technicallyimright may be we indeed are morally superior. People even get their parents visas so they can live with them in other countries. That doesn't seem something poor people would do.
Deborah is human after all. But she really stole that poor woman's business.
This lady has a put a lot of research and work into her product. Market research was a let down. Thank you very much Deborah for helping this poor lady.
"The pressure cooker of the den has become too much for her" actually no I'm pretty sure it's the heaters and spot lights they blast on the people pitching lol.
So why dont more people faint? Only one?
6:01 did we really need 4 different shots of the book closing? Yes, yes we did.
That pen click was very dramatic
She looks so adorable. Happy for her
She looks robotic
Company still going strong!! Fair play to Amy!!!
Anyone else think Deborah offered to invest because she almost collapsed after her comment? 😂😂
“98% natural ingredients”
I don’t have any context for that. Is that good?
Without knowing what they are there is no way of knowing. Cyanide is 100% natural, but you wouldn't want to eat it.
9:06 "What did i do to you?" You basically said to her that she has no business. Quite a strong thing to say to an entrepeneur who isn't a billionaire.
Ya dude. It was so immediate.
Hope she succeeds some way. Reminds me of my mother
I want to wish that young lady all the best.
she seemed really nice. soft spoken. i hope she did well for herself.
but you are out
Hats off to the lady, who came up with product and presented in front of such a big investors, she will definitely success soon. Cheers
Amy , this message for you !!! " You did great , you got a Precious Personality and I just love your intelligence !!! " Intelligent people are the only people whose get a head in life !!!! " I wish to have a lifetime partner like You !!!
Jenny: " Bubbles burst i'm out."
Deborah is fab in every way. I'm so pleased that this young lady got an offer from her. I truly hope that they both make a fantastic product and make loads of money.
08:45 that X-Factor sympathy clearly worked
Peter it's ok don't get up 🤣
I think we’ve seen this one before!
Lol 🤣
Yh I we have or at least we both know we have , it’s annoying how they keep uploading pitches from months ago
There was a special where they went over this and where she went with Deborah's investment
Debra, “what did i do to you?” You told her the truth Debra 😂
Peter..."I wasn't paying an attention to that, you're fit but I'm out"
ha ha
Its always cool when you see the success stories, even better when there's a little bit of drama
I can't get over her fish eyes at 5:15.
My mom had a home business many, many years ago and did well in her hometown where people knew her personally. In order to grow, she had to get her product "out there" and known. Even in the days when a brand new mid-size car sold for under $6,000, she set aside $100,000 for marketing and getting the product to be recognized and... gone. A hundred grand in advertisement in California back in the late 70s was not enough to break out of her hometown and become a statewide product, let alone national or international. It didn't matter that people across the border in Mexico loved her product (we lived on the border of San Diego and Mexico), that did not mean she could sell her product in Mexico for the same price she sold in the town... she would have to have taken a loss, because the Peso was very much worthless and most average people in Mexico could not afford it - only those from Mexico who shopped inside the US could afford it.
If she thinks she could sell the bath bubbles in China for the same cost as in the UK, she's got another thing coming.
... then thinking £60,000 is going to blow open the international market for product marketing? What marketing/advertisement firm did she work for?
Deborah is surely the most cunning of all Dragons. Bluffing all the way until the poor girl almost fainted...."oh" Suddenly Deborah went all maternal...and her bad cop act slipped.😍
other than this clip, i don't think i've ever seen that investor lady show even a glimpse of compassion while binge watching this show on youtube
Well done Deborah in giving this girl a chance withagreat product
8:44 Peter being very helpful when she almost blacked out
you mean touker and sarah
"Independent woman" who her family is funding lol
I don't see any of her family in the den, or anyone else for that matter? Or do you think everyone who's ever been successful has done it all on their own? None of the dragons are self made. Someone invested in them, someone believed in their ideas and helped them or they got money from their parents. Don't be jealous because she has the safety of her family to fall back on.
nicole ...Amy?..Is that you? 👀
@@nicolew672 wow, you get triggered easily don't you. Mr Mr made a bit of good observational humour. You threw a hook on that bait and chewed it :P
nicole you say none of the dragons are self made but also I’ve never heard one of them say their independent
nicole it’s like saying I’m independent because I’m in a room by myself
When Sarah mentioned all the big boys in town
peters thinking 🤔I'm the biggest boy in town I'm 9ft tall 😂
I remember this from the “how Deborah closes a deal and what happens after the den” episode
Nick should've said the old saying....
'Don't leave town till you've seen the country'
Let’s do this she says as she gets up off the chair. Such an independent woman
lol that "faint" actually worked!
*"Daddy I wanted the BMW!!"*
Sorry, got you the Mini darling.
*"Omg I feel light headed.."*
she comes across as that type
Agree totally, spoilt wet lettuce.
LOL at Deborah squinting to read the label... maybe you could read it if you put on your readers! 👓🤓😂
"I'm an independent woman who's supported by my family and gets lightheaded when faced with criticism."
Now that I know the elevator isn't real, I laugh every time I see people pretend to use it.
😊😄😄😄
Maybe only I am devilish enough to get your joke... or just sad enough browsing in the comments...
@@theway4020 I'm sure you're not sad, ☺ but it's not a joke, there really isn't a lift/elevator there, just the doors on each side, the production crew control shutting the doors once the entrepreneur walks into the 'lift,' then the dragons open the doors on the other side when they're ready for the entrepreneur.
Ms Starlight thanks 😂 really! I’ll keep an eye out...
Debra probably wasn't going to make her an offer until her criticism nearly made the girl faint. Debra might be quite shrewd but she also has a good heart
“A well-timed ‘funny turn’ by the young entrepreneur sees Deborah Meaden change tack and make an offer.” 😂😂😂
Nick Jenkins ALWAYS makes decisions based on his emotions rather than business acumen.
Because he fluked it with a card business called moonpig. That's it.
The credible people in that line up is peter at number 1, debra and touker. They are real business individuals. Not sure about sarah Willingham either. Certain people have just been at the right place in the right time with the right people around them. A prime example of this is the likes of Karen Brady with Birmingham city football club
Child farm products are within that price range
