Summary at a Glance

James Martin had one huge regret over his romance with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.

Since 1962 the Bond film franchise has been controlled by members of the Broccoli family either single-handedly or in partnership with others, with Barbara stepping in for her father legendary film producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli after his death.

The glamorous Hollywood film producer, 64, dated the Saturday Morning host, 52, for four and a half years when James was 29 and Barbara was 41.

James was the son of a catering manager, while Barbara was bonafide Tinseltown royalty - the daughter of legendary film producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli.

The TV chef is now happily dating personal trainer Kim Johnson, but it's unlikely that he will ever forget his early romance with Barbara, a powerful woman 12 years his senior who 'won' him at an auction in 2001, and paid a staggering £18,000 for him to cook her dinner.
