Dragons' Den entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne was taken to hospital following a dizzy spell today.

The successful businessman who runs a chain of gyms and hotels tweeted a picture of himself at North Tees General Hospital in Stockton, Teesside, wearing a woolly hat.

After receiving treatment he said on Twitter: "Many thanks to North Tees Hospital for looking after me today."

Mr Bannatyne, the tough-talking business angel on the BBC show, was allowed home after he underwent tests.
