It has been 16 years since celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and wife Jools welcomed their first child into the world and Jools didn’t let the celebration pass without writing a sweet tribute to her eldest.

On Instagram, the 43-year-old gushed about her teenager for her special day.

“Pops you are 16 and we couldn’t be prouder of you ❤️ best friend ❤️,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself, Poppy and her 14-year-old daughter Daisy.

In a recent interview, Jamie revealed that he wouldn’t wish his “lonely” job on anyone despite his £150million empire. 

Talking to Radio Times, Jamie admitted that he goes through the blues once a year because of the high-pressure demands of his career.

“When you’re truly happy, I don’t think that you’re pushing yourself. But I’ve been pretty miserable. It isn’t nice. I don’t know if I’d prescribe my career to anyone else. I don’t say I have regrets, but it’s complex.” 

“It’s quite a lonely place. It still does get to me about once a year. I do wobble. I’m pretty tough, but I’m human.” 

Jamie said his job, which is “to be at war with processed food and takeaways”, has its times when it is overwhelming.

“The public only see one third of what I actually do for a job. The Press will beat the s**t out of me until they feel sorry for me. Then they’ll build me back up again.”

Two years ago, Jamie became the second British author, following JK Rowling, to sell more than £150million worth of books.
