'Live and Let Die' star Roger and his wife Kristina 'Kiki' Tholstrup are devastated after Christina Knudsen - affectionately known as Flossie - passed away at 10am on Monday (25.07.16) surrounded by her family.

Roger - who played James Bond in seven films - took to his official Twitter account to share his news with his followers.

He wrote: "Our beautiful daughter Christina (aka Flossie) lost her battle with cancer 25 July at 10am. We are heartbroken ... We were all with her, surrounding her with love, at the end. (sic)"

Christina's father was tycoon Hans Christian Knudsen who killed himself after having been accused of tax evasion.

Two decades later her stepfather Ole Tholstrup died from alcoholism and then Kiki fell in love with Roger and he made her his fourth wife in 2002.

Christina - was half-Swedish and half-Danish - lived in London from 1997 and famously set up a social club Ochun for single people in the UK capital city Ochun in 2014.

She was previously married to investment banker Nikolaj Albinus and after they divorced she went on to date Skype co-founder Janus Friis for four years.
