Brand new Dragon Piers Linney appeared on the Secret Millionaire back in 2011 - but once he joins the rest of the Dragons in the Den, we think he'll struggle to keep his millionaire-ness secret for much longer.

Piers' company Outsourcery are one of the leading providers of cloud based IT - basically, filing cabinets fear this man.

However, he's more than just the sum of his business parts - here's everything you need to know about him.

1. Piers is a keen mountain biker, and claims that when he rides his bike to his City offices, he sometimes gets handed parcels because people think he's a courier.

2. He's got two children called Tiger and Electra. It is not known whether they are named after Tiger Woods and Carmen Electra.

3. He's officially one of the 100 Most Powerful black people in the UK in 2013.

4. At the time of writing, he has 4,886 Twitter followers - maybe he can get one of the other Dragons to #ff him.

5. Piers likes to exercise and gets "sticky" during personal training sessions.

6. According to Companies House, 32 of the companies he's been inolved with have folded. Luckily, Outsourcery appears to be doing very well.

7. Hardworking Piers got his first job as a paper boy when he was 14. However, unlike a lot of teenage boys, he stopped working through a newsagents and started buying and selling the papers straight from a supplier.

8. In 2011, he was a Secret Millionaire, working at a Young Offenders' institution. He did not flinch when a young offender called him a 'Channel 4 pustule'.

9. His wife Tara runs a dance studio - and if any telly execs are reading, we think this is a dream premise for a reality show.

10. He's rumoured to be a Virgin Galactic passenger - and he's been for a beer with Richard Branson's mum.
