A CHINGFORD entrepreneur will appear in the BBC’s Dragons' Den programme on Wednesday.

Karen O’Neil will appeal to the business gurus for investment in her dry ice skating company KCO inline skating.

Ms O’Neil, of Queen’s Grove Road, and business partner Karen Coombes have developed a skate which provides the experience of ice on various surfaces.

The 43-year-old came up with the idea after noticing a shortage of ice rinks nationally.

The mother of one will ask Peter Jones, James Caan, Duncan Bannatyne, Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden to help expand the business on BBC2 at 9pm on Wednesday.
