The chef is often down at the Saturday markets, and has brought alongside his youngest son River on many occasions, but on his last outing he brought both Buddy and River with him, and the two brothers showed off just how close their bond is. The star shared an adorable photo from outside a chocolate shop where Buddy was carrying his younger in his arms as River wrapped his arm around the back of Buddy's neck to stay supported.

Although Jamie shares plenty of photos of his sons, his daughters don't feature as often on his page, but last week he stunned fans when he shared an emotional video of his eldest, Poppy, which included sweet family clips and some news archives from the day she was born.
