Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett planning fly-on-the-wall YouTube documentary

Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett is to be the subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary.

The millionaire entrepreneur, who made his fortune after co-founding Social Chain in Manchester, said the YouTube series will feature a behind the scenes look at his businesses and recording episodes of his The Diary of a CEO podcast in Los Angeles and New York.

Episodes are also set to cover the businessman in 'non-professional situations' such as the gym, training for Soccer Aid and Dj'ing.

Plans for the series were revealed by Mr Bartlett in a social media post where he called for a full-time videographer. The Dragons' Den star said applicants must be "able and willing to follow me around the clock and record pretty much everything".

The new series is also expected to cover Mr Bartlett's The Money School, his prison project and supporting the British Red Cross in Turkey. It will also document one of his company's Flight Story, creating a new 12,000 sq ft head office in London.
