The product was pitched back in 2007 when dragons Duncan Bannatyne and James Caan invested £150,000 with a 36% stake.

Three months after the pitch the product made its first million and has since made over £25 million in global sales and ships to 152 different countries.

The ChocBox can be brought from well-known stores Screwfix, toolstation, Wickes, and other retailers.

The Magic Whiteboard has become hugely popular with an original investment of £100,000 from Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis.
