A Dragons’ Den<\/a> star has unveiled her strict rule when it comes to inviting her children\u2019s friends over for playtime.<\/p>\n

Sara Davies<\/a>, 41, joined the hit BBC<\/a> show as its youngest ever female investor in 2019.<\/p>\n

In that time, she has gone on to make several successful investments in companies such as Sibstar, My Chocolate Shop, and Redcote Leisure Ltd.<\/p>\n

However, in March she revealed that she was stepping away from the show<\/a> to focus on her business \u2018for now\u2019.<\/p>\n

Despite her exit, Sara seems to be turning her attention towards her two children, Oliver, 11, and Charlie, eight, whom she shares with her husband of almost 20 years, Simon Davies.<\/p>\n

Talking to Daily Mail\u2019s Eden Confidential, she said: \u2018I have a box at the front door, so when they come to my house, they put their phones and iPads in the box, and it stays in my bedroom.’<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old continued: \u2018I like to be the fun mam where the other kids come around and I get pizzas, [but] I’ve seen it where the kids come and have phones and iPads and one of them will withdraw and sit on their iPad.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don’t want the other parents to think that I’m judging them because they’ve let their kid [have a smartphone].<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m too nervous to say anything about it in the school WhatsApp group.\u2019<\/p>\n
