A sculptor who won investment on Dragons' Den has exhibited his work for the first time in London.

Guy Portelli, 53, appeared on the BBC2 show last September asking for £70,000 for a 25per cent share of his "Pop Icon" collection, including sculptures of Bob Marley and John Lennon. The tycoons ended up giving him £80,000.

James Caan, Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis went to a preview of his work at the Mall Galleries.
