Dragon's Den star Duncan Bannatyne and his wife Nigora Bannatyne nee. Whitehorn share their family plans

They may already have seven children between them, but Dragon's Den's Duncan Bannatyne, 68, and his new wife, 36-year-old Nigora Whitehorn, are planning to expand their already sizeable brood.

Still glowing from their extravagent two-day wedding in Portugal (well, the Dragon's Den entreprenuer is said to be worth around £200million!), the pair spoke to Holly and Phil on This Morning, and revealed their future plans.

Nigora told Holly and Phil: "We've been too busy with the wedding, but now we're just gonna plan the future family... I'd like to have at least two boys"

A stunned Phil, cheekily asked Duncan how he feels at the prospect of being a dad-of-nine, to which the multi-millionaire casually replied: "I feel great... I can't wait, I think it'll be wonderful."

Duncan, who has been married twice before, has six children - four by his first wife Gail, and two with his second wife Joanne. He also has two grandchildren. His new wife, Nigora, also has a daughter, Gabrielle, from a previous relationship, who Duncan says he 'counts as his'.

Duncan and Nigora's lavish two-day wedding in Portugal sounds like a truly epic affair.

Clearly still buzzing from the nuptials, Duncan revealed: “There was 140 people there on both days and the first day of course I wore a kilt and my best man wore a kilt and Nigora wore the traditional white wedding dress. We got married, conducted the ceremony on the beach beside the lake and then we had dinner and partied until 2am.”

On the second day the couple had a traditional Uzbeck wedding (Nigora is from Uzbeckistan), which Duncan seemed to relish. He gushed: "It was fantastic... I had to do the welcome in the Uzbeck way and welcome all the friends, families and we did the presents, they’ve had amazing Uzbeck food... I just love the Uzbeck people we had such a great time, it was so wonderful."

Duncan will no doubt be hoping it's third time lucky with Nigora, after a messy and expensive divorce from his second wife, Joanne, which he claims cost his £345million and drove him to the brink of suicide.

But the couple - who have been together for two years - seem to have hit it off straight away, with Nigora revaling they moved in together after just a week!

We can't wait to see what the future holds for the happy couple.
