He welcomed his fifth child just a few months ago, so you'd assume that Jamie Oliver would have this parenting lark down to a tee.

However, it seems that Jamie is a pretty hands on dad himself - if he's caring for babies and toddlers that is! 

 

“I wouldn’t say I’m a natural parent of teenagers, but I am picking it up.

 

“I’m definitely good at the toddler bit and the baby bit, but you’re just trying to duck and dive and learn what they need and what they do and don’t like from parents.”
