Wicks, also known as known as The Body Coach, is known for his work in the health and wellness industry and raising millions for charities, while Woodall is the founder and CEO of global, digital-first beauty brand, Trinny London, who first came to prominence in BBC series What Not to Wear.

They will be joined as Guest Dragons by Emma Grede, the businesswoman, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and recurring guest on Shark Tank, who will return to the show in a guest capacity following her stint last series.

Wicks said in a statement: "I can't wait to step into the Den as a Guest Dragon and meet all the brilliant and passionate entrepreneurs. My own journey has shown me that with the right mindset and a lot of hard work, anything is possible.

"I’m really looking forward to sharing my experiences and hopefully helping some amazing businesses reach their full potential."
