She will be hoping for an investment in her business from one or more of the dragons, after previously having to back out of an opportunity to appear in 2019 due to anxiety.

The former Queens’ School and Bushey Meads student said: “I launched Botanycl as I suffered from skin problems since I was a teenager.

“In 2015, my acne was so severe that it wreaked havoc on my confidence; I cancelled plans with friends, and no longer let my partner see me without make-up.”

She decided to look into the issue and concluded that her hormonal balance was the root cause.

“Through my research I discovered the best herbal ingredients to address my acne and was amazed by how quickly my skin cleared up,” the 32-year-old added.

“I have been on a mission ever since to help other women dealing with problem skin too.”

Caroline, a new mum, says customers have hailed her product as a “game changer” and she will be aiming to similarly impress Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Touker Suleyman, and Steven Bartlett.
