It's clear that Mary and Jamie have the greatest respect for each other. In the past, the pair have given interviews where they have sung each other's praises. Speaking to Good Housekeeping, Jamie said of cooking: "Mary has always done it very naturally. Our job essentially is to be a Tom Tom or sat nav of a recipe. You want people to get there in the safest way and with guaranteed pleasure." Mary replied: "Jamie makes it fun for the young. You stayed being yourself."

Jamie also credited his wife Jools and his happy home life for his successful career, saying: "If you have got a good family life, it makes all the difference. Jools and I have been together for nearly 20 years. I don't want people to think it’s this heavenly, perfect thing. Of course we fight. But the truth is, we are really happy. I love her to bits.
