Jamie Oliver shows off baby

The Naked Chef and his wife Jools posed for photos with Poppy Honey as they left Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in central London.

Jools gave birth to their first child yesterday. Poppy was four days late and weighed 7lb 14oz.

A spokesman for the Oliver said they are "delighted" with their new addition and added: "All concerned are doing well."

Jools is understood to have had the baby in hospital although no further details about the birth have been announced.

The couple married in 2000 and looked delighted as they left for home.

They said they wanted to thank doctors, midwives and nursing staff who helped with the birth.

Oliver is currently setting up a new restaurant in London for which he will be training up the staff.

He is planning to make a TV series about the new venture, called Oliver's Army, but last month the BBC broke off negotiations due to his commercial interests. He has a multi-million pound advertising deal with Sainsbury's.
