Inside Dragons’ Den legend Sara Davies incredible 40th birthday holiday to Dubai with rarely-seen husband
DRAGONS’ Den Star Sara Davies enjoyed her 40th birthday in the sizzling Dubai heat as she jetted away with her rarely-seen husband.
The former Strictly star, whose crafting business was recently revealed to be £1million in debt, left her troubles behind as she made the most of the luxury 5-star holiday.
The business mogul stayed at the lavish Jumeriah Beach Hotel, taking to social media to share snaps of the pair lounging around the pool and watching beach sunsets.
The beach side resort, which costs upwards of £800 per night for a suite, was the backdrop for many of the TV stars’ incredible Instagram pics.
The self-proclaimed TV crafting queen shared with her fans her birthday dinner and cake in a swanky Thai restaurant that is only accessible by water taxi.
Sara wore a stunning summer dress with a feather print for the extravagant birthday dinner with long-time hubby Simon Davies, who she married back in 2007.
Speaking about her getaway on social media, she said: “It’s been a fabulous few days! Lovely to get a bit sun and chill time amidst all the manic ness of day to day life and make the most of the last few days of being able to say I’m a ‘thirty-something-year old’.“
The pair also flew in style in first-class seats, despite Sara’s recent business struggles.
The entrepreneur’s company, Crafter Companion was hit with “reduced sales” in 2023, with accounts showing a loss of £1.27 million, sparking major concerns for its future.
A Crafters Companion spokesperson at the time said: “These figures only tell part of the story”
Sara founded her craft supplier company in 2005 from her bedroom at the University of York.
Her big break came from her ground-breaking product, The Enveloper, which sold over 8,000 in the first 24 hours of its debut.
Sara joined the den in 2019 alongside fellow Dragons Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Steven Bartlett and Touker Suleyman.
Sara has since gone on to star on other hit TV shows, such as Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, where she placed 7th with dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec.
The Crafting Queen continues to be rewarded for her contributions to the business industry receiving many accolades as well as an MBE.
