TV chef Oliver a 'strict' father

The TV celebrity chef Jamie Oliver – whose wife Jools is currently pregnant with their fourth child – makes his three young daughters do chores so they don’t take things for granted, a skill he learnt from his own father.

He explained: “I’m tough. I’m a fairly strict dad. They all give me lip but I like children that learn how to work early. Even at five and six, getting them to clear the table and put things away and wash up, and just be helpful and contribute, is important. You can see when your kids are starting to take things for granted a bit, so basically I’ve just turned into my father.
