Jools and her husband Jamie have been enjoying lots of time with their five children at the family home in Essex during the coronavirus lockdown, and their kids have even got involved with the celebrity chef's work, appearing on his Channel 4 show – Keep Cooking and Carry On – as well as in his Tesco advert.

The family also celebrated Jools and Jamie's 20th wedding anniversary at the end of June, and since restaurants and pubs were closed at the time, they had a picnic together instead.

Meanwhile, in April, Jools opened up about whether she would like to expand her family. Speaking on fitness podcast The Red Room, the mum-of-five confessed she would love to have a sixth child by the time she is 47. "I want to keep going until I can't," she said. "I will probably think about stopping wanting another baby when I am about 47."

Admitting that she has been "bugging" the celebrity chef for another child, she added: "Jamie says, 'You can't put an age on it because you keep on talking about it' but just one more for River. I want to just stop bugging Jamie. But I feel like I don't know. I think one more."
