Jamie Oliver rose to fame in the late nineties when he released The Naked Chef before going on to write a number of cookbooks and star in other culinary television shows
Jamie Oliver has opened up about an aspect of his life that “isn’t really healthy” as he hinted at a hidden family struggle. The 50-year-old rose to fame with The Naked Chef on BBC Two in 1999.
His 2005 Feed Me Better campaign, which featured on his series Jamie’s School Dinners, was widely credited as being the catalyst behind a major change in the diets of children across the country. It led to junk food being banned in schools.
Since then Jamie is estimated to have sold over 50 million books across the globe and has continued to produce culinary television shows. However on the Radical podcast with Amol Rajan, Jamie appeared to hint that being a public figure had an impact on his private life.
Jamie said: “There’s a lot of currency or want to want to be something in our culture and, good or brilliant or excellent is held up in this world of celebrity and it is a funny old world and I don’t believe it is a very healthy world.
“Getting favours for something you don’t deserve isn’t good and getting grief for something you don’t deserve isn’t good. It isn’t very healthy for your kids, and you have to parent hard to balance, and statistically kids of famous people, it ain’t looking good.
