DRAGONS’ Den panellist Sarah Willingham had an unexpected scare on Friday.

The businesswoman and mother-of-four, who lives near Goring, returned home to find a foot-long snake roaming around her property.

She took a photograph of the creature, which was dark green with black markings and a single yellow stripe around its neck, and then asked her Twitter followers to identify it.

After several people reassured her that it was a harmless grass snake, she picked it up and released it into the Thames.

She later retweeted one of her followers’ remarks: “Dragon rescues snake. What a world!”
