    Jools-Oliver

    Jamie Oliver’s wife Jools has revealed that she would like another baby, but that her hubby is not so keen.

    Jools Oliver, 34, already has three daughters with the TV chef, but admitted that she would like another.

    She said: “I’d like one more baby, but Jamie already thinks he lives in a mad house full of girls!”

    Their youngest daughter, Petal, was born in April and Jools said it has taken her seven months to lose the excess baby weight.

    She said: “I was super-fit before I got pregnant, so I didn’t need to do any extreme dieting.”

  • Jools Oliver: Jamies a workaholic

    Chef Jamie Oliver’s wife Jools has said that she wants him to work less.

    The 34-year-old revealed that being married to Jamie, also 34, can be hard work. The couple have been married for nine years and they have three young daughters together.

    She said: “I’ve never known a person to work so hard. I don’t know how he does it. I’d hate his life, I couldn’t bear it.”

    Jools also said that she finds it difficult being away from her husband for long periods.

    She said: “I’m nearly 35, I don’t go out a lot and sometimes I get lonely. I don’t mind the day-trips to Sweden, but please come home at night.”

    Talking about Jamie retiring, she added: “We discuss it all the time. But then we think, we’re only 34 and life’s a rat race.

    “In 2011, he’s going to try to do a four-day work week, spend more time with the children and just enjoy life more.”

    Chef Jamie Oliver’s training courses have seen over 50 per cent of students find jobs, it has been claimed.

    Jamie, 34, set up the charity Fifteen Foundation in 2002, and accounts show that 54 per cent of its apprentices have stayed on and found a job.

    Students on the course learn skills at Jamie’s flagship store in London before heading off to work in cities such as Amsterdam, Melbourne and New York.

    It is claimed that Jamie and Fifteen’s directors are hoping to cut the course down to a year and speed up the selection process. Over 120 people have already taken part in the courses.

    Despite donations to the charity dropping 11.5 per cent to £718,287 in 2008, turnover has remained high and hit £4.5 million.

  • Jamie Oliver ’spends $120,000′ on travelling to see family

    Chef Jamie Oliver reportedly spent $120,000 flying between London and the US to see his family while filming his TV show.

    Oliver, 33, was making a six-part series in America called Jamie’s American Road Trip.

    However, he reportedly promised wife Jools he would never spend more than six days away from her and their daughters Poppy Honey, seven, Daisy Boo, five, and Petal Blossom, two months.

    The series took eight months to film, starting in November and ending in early June. He took 12 $10,000 flights between the US and the UK during the show, which will be screened next year.

    A source said: “Jamie wants to raise his profile in the US in a similar way to Gordon Ramsay. He was a little torn, though, because he is such a devoted family man. He was hurt by the criticism that he was so hungry for success that he was prepared to risk his family life.”
