The creator of Reggae Reggae sauce has admitted that he lied on Dragons' Den about the origins of the recipe, but has denied stealing it from his former business partner.
Levi Roots told the show's entrepreneurs that it had been handed down by his grandmother, a story that he now admits he made up.
"When I was trying to market the sauce, I thought of every conceivable way that I was connected with music and the Notting Hill Carnival," he said.
"I cooked all that in a bag together and tried my best to make a story about it."
Roots is being sued for more than £600,000 by Tony Bailey, his former business partner. Bailey claims Roots stole his recipe for the sauce. A charge Roots denies.
