Since his humble beginnings, Jamie has gone on to have a hugely successful career, finding fame in the nineties with The Naked Chef. Since then, the star has fronted numerous TV shows, owned restaurant chains and has gone on to release several best-selling cookery books.
Away from his busy work schedule, Jamie is a doting husband to five children; Poppy, 21, Daisy, 20, Petal, 14, Buddy, 12 and seven-year-old River. The star has been married to wife Jools for over 23 years, having met at just 17 where they became high school sweethearts.
Earlier this month, Jools confessed to finding change "hard". Following a wonderful summer with their five children, the children's designer penned a lengthy Instagram message about her youngest children returning to school, and wondering how to fill that void. Watch the video below...
"First few days back at school and my head is all over the place!!" she wrote. "I find change SO hard. For the first few days of any big change I yearn and long for the old routine back whatever that looked like it would be something I am just used to."
No doubt many parents would be able to relate to this. Alongside a compilation clip, which you can watch in the video below, the mum-of-five added: "I find the holidays the absolute hardest. I know it's because this stage means a new term, new year group, River moving up to year 3 wearing a big blazer, expectations for him to be a 'big boy' to soon!!
"As my timeline is measured in school terms it's clearer to see that big changes are happening for us all and time as I get older goes way to fast [heart emoji] so attempting a fancy reel to remember our beautiful summer holidays…..where there was unforgettable laughter (till we cried) tears/tantrums and moods for all sorts of reasons!"
She rounded off the emotional post with: "I would do it all again in a heartbeat [heart emoji] thank you summer holidays for your precious time as always xxx."
