Jamie Oliver – doting father-of-five and Britain’s favourite chef – taught us all that anyone can knock up a pukka Mediterranean salmon or get the gang round for a Sunday roast with a twist. Now, as we’re shown around Jamie Oliver HQ in London, The Naked Chef himself tells us he’s on an exciting new quest. He’s hoping to find the next cookbook star, someone to follow in his footsteps, with a Penguin Random House book deal up for grabs in a brand new Channel 4 competition.
Since Jamie was discovered while working as a sous-chef 25 years ago, he has barely stopped and he now has 24 best-selling cookery books to his name. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter. You can sign up at the top of the page.
So it’s no surprise that when he walks into the room, he tells us he is always the first person to arrive at HQ at 6am every single day. But Jamie, 46, also reveals that he’s been enjoying a bit of a break lately, having recently moved out of the capital with his wife Jools, 47, and their children – Poppy, 19, Daisy, 18, Petal, 12, Buddy, 11, and River, five. “We moved out of London and we’re sort of trying to laugh more and have less pressure on our shoulders,” Jamie says.
Here, the star reveals to OK! why he will always protect his kids from the public eye, and opens up about feeling like a “failure” when he was younger… Hi Jamie! What makes a good cookbook? Timing is so powerful and important when it comes to your subject. It’s also about knowing your audience and seeing what is already out there at the moment. Tell us about what we can expect from the show… The talent in this competition is crazy.
