Watch the moment Dragons’ Den legend explodes at airport worker after flight chaos
DRAGONS’ Den star Touker Suleyman raged at an airport official after his flight was heavily delayed.
The multi-millionaire businessman, 70, was caught on camera giving a man both barrels while surrounded by disgruntled passengers.
He could be heard demanding the worker “be a man and make a decision”, before branding him “a coward”.
Some witnesses questioned whether it was part of a TV show.
Touker shared the clip to his Instagram and a follower shed some more light on what was happening.
They wrote: “The flight Touker was on was heavily delayed, the airline then tried to pay people some passengers money to take a delayed flight 4 days later!!
“Touker was telling the airport they were not offering enough money for people to have to wait another 4 days for flights home! Fair play to Touker, he was standing up for everyone.”
His direct approach led to calls for him to be prime minister.
One wrote: “Britain is looking for a prime minister someone with real business experience someone with real quality someone with integrity someone who cares & you’d fit the bill perfectly Touker.”
Others praised him for making a stand, though were surprised he wasn’t on a private jet.
One said: “Touker, voice of the people. Good for you!”
Another commented: “Hmmm why are you not flying private sir?”
Straight-talking Touker, who is said to be worth £200million, made his fortune after forming the Low Profile Group in the mid 80s.
The clothing manufacturer and supplier made garments for stores including Marks & Spencer and in 2001 purchased shirt brand Hawes & Curtis, dramatically transforming the struggling business’s fortunes.
He has been a Dragon on the hit BBC show since 2015 and has invested nearly £2million.
Brands include workout equipment brand Beamblock Yogo, wooden toy company Timberkits and luxury brownie busienss Bad Brownie.
