In the photo, the new entrepreneurs are seen with the veteran stars of the business pitch series.
Jenny Campbell and Tej Lalvani look like they very much mean business as the pose next the existing dragons Touker Suleyman, Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones.
New entrepreneur and Vitabiotics CEO Lalvani stepped on board following the departure of the chairman and part owner of Crystal Palace Football Club Steve Parish, who left suddenly back in April this year.
In a statement from the time, the Crystal Palace part owner said he could not give the BBC show the time and commitment needed.
Following his appointment to the Dragons’ Den panel, Lalvani said: “I’m very excited to be joining the Dragons’ Den line-up.”
He added: “I’m a shrewd investor and I’m looking forward to finding hard working, passionate people to share my business experience and knowledge with.”
Along with Lalvani, CEO of YourCash Europe Campbell will be joining the show for its 15th series to hear more business propositions from budding entrepreneurs.
Speaking about becoming part of Dragons’ Den, Campbell said that she was “thrilled” and already a fan of the programme.
“I’m looking forward to using my extensive business skills to spot the next generation of entrepreneurs and help them realise their business dreams,” she stated.
The duo will be replacing Sarah Willingham and Nick Jenkins, who made an exit last year.
Will the two newcomers have what it takes to secure the best business ideas?
Dragons’ Den is set to air on BBC Two later this year.
