The entrepreneur broke an agreement that they would market the product together, it was claimed.
He claims the Jamaican musician promised him money following the success of the product and even apologised for lying on the show, when he claimed the recipe was his grandmother’s so it would ‘be accepted’.
He told London’s High Court: ‘I gave Levi the first batch of the sauce. Levi hid things from us. He knew what he was going to do.’
<span style="font-weight: bold">Restaurateur Mr Bailey, who sold his sauce in Jamaica before arriving in England in 1986, kept the recipe secret for 22 years before writing it down and showing it to Roots in February 2006. </span>
