Jamie's book is set to be released in April, with the chef sharing the news back in October.
The book was partially inspired by his dyslexia, which he explained caused him to struggle when reading bedtime stories to his young children, leading them to ask him to share ones from his head.
"I built this little catalogue of stories which became this," he explained.
