A DRAGONFLY BITE NEARLY KILLED ME

TELLY Dragon Duncan Bannatyne has revealed how he was almost killed by a dragonfly.

The Dragons' Den star was on a trip to Mexico when a dragonfly bite on his hand became infected.

The 75-year-old suffered a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction.

He revealed: "I almost died in Mexico, just a few weeks ago.

"I got this infection in my hand. It was a bite and it's swelling.

"There were seven couples, and a woman said 'you have to get a doctor"."

Duncan was on the trip with wife Nigora, 44, and she called a doctor.
