Could it be true? Could arrogant Peter Jones and cocky Duncan Bannatyne actually be burying the hatchet?

The pair are currently starring together in their fifth series of business reality TV show, Dragons’ Den and Jones admitted that it has taken them this long to warm to one another.

The dad-of-five told Closer: “It’s taken five series, but I’m finally warming to him. I think as he becomes an OAP, he’s mellowing slightly.

“Before this series I couldn’t stand him. But now we’ve been out for dinner together. It’s quite a turnaround. He’s getting old, and age is good for him.”
