Happy birthday River! Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools are celebrating their youngest child's first birthday, and to mark the happy occasion, Jools has shared a beautiful tribute on social media. Sharing a picture of her little boy shortly after his birth, the mother-of-five gushed: "Happy first birthday little River Rocket Blue Dallas. The moment we first met you, I think I was clinging on to you pretty tightly!"

She added: "You have brought so much happiness and love in to our family. You are the happiest little soul with the biggest smile and dimple and you are so adored by your big sisters and brother and everyone around you. So looking forward to waking you up now for the biggest cuddle." As well as being his parents' pride and joy, the youngest member of the Oliver family is well taken care of by his older siblings, six-year-old Buddy, eight-year-old Petal, Daisy, 14, and 15-year-old Poppy.
