Jamie recently revealed on Fraser T. Smith's podcast, 12 Questions, that his wife, along with their three daughters and some of his female colleagues, help him stay "grounded".

"I think we all have to control our egos," he said. "I mean, my best way of controlling my ego was just to work with lots of women, to be honest. And I think they keep me in line.

"Like, for the last 20 years, we've been about 80% ladies in the business, and somehow it's just worked very well for me.

"And they don't sit there telling me how great I am all day, let's just put it that way. They keep me in check, as well as my wife. And now my daughters."
