Who is James Martin's ex-girlfriend Barbara Broccoli? Meet the Bond producer, 63, who wooed chef, 51, at auction but split over £180,000 Aston Martin gift
The pair dated for four-and-a-half years with James, 51, later revealing the real reason behind their split in 2008, having previously called her 'the love of his life'.
As James moves on with Kim, who is the ex-wife of businessman Arun Nayar, who was previously married to actress Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011, MailOnline takes a look into his past relationship with producer Barbara, 63.
