I’ve tried to shut up shop: Jamie Oliver lets slip that Jools wants a sixth kid

They might have five children but Jamie Oliver has confessed that his wife Jools would definitely love another one. 

Jamie, however, has said that while he would rather not have another one, the decision isn't up to him.

He spoke to The Mirror, saying, ''I’ve tried to shut the shop a few times and I’ve failed.''

He continued, ''I just don’t know anymore. My intention would be to not have another one, but she might have different ideas and my capacity for self-restraint clearly isn’t great, I don’t have a good track record.'' 

The 43-year-old chef has a brood of five with Jools - 16-year-old Poppy Honey, 15-year-old Daisy Boo, nine-year-old Petal Blossom, eight-year-old Buddy Bear, and two-year-old River Rocket.

Jamie also opened up about how much of an embarrassing dad he is when it comes to his older kids.

He said, ''Buddy and Petal think I’m cool, but to everyone else I am embarrassing.''

He continued, ''You don’t even have to do anything to be embarrassing, you just need to have a pulse. I took a couple of the older ones to Topshop the other day and one of them was getting on my nerves, so I broke out into dance. She walked off and I followed her doing spins and moonwalks. It was very colourful…the more embarrassed they get, the more you do it.''

But what about raising a family of such varying ages?

Jamie said that it is a bit weird - but he has a clever solution to nappy-changing. 

He said, ''It’s quite a bridge dealing with teenager and toddlers at the same time. It’s interesting…Mostly asking the teens to change the nappies. But Jools is my rock.''

Such a gorgeous family - how adorable would another baby be?
