Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have been married for an impressive 24 years and dote on their five children, as the celebrity chef proved again on Wednesday.
The star took to his Instagram Stories to share the sweetest photos with his mini-me sons Buddy 13, and River, seven.
The first snapshot was a selfie of Jamie and his youngest son cuddled up together while the second was a rare throwback of Buddy when he was just a year old.
Jamie captioned the first photo, which showed himself and River beaming matching smiles as they cuddled together and the dad-of-five held up a copy of David London's new book.
The presenter penned: "The cutest picture book about birds and how to spot them from David London aka @theurbanbirder and wonderful illustrations by @boccaccinimeadows. Me [and River adore] it."

In the first two, the proud dad kissed the youngster on the cheek, in another the pair smiled at each other, and in the fourth they both looked at the camera.

In honour of the milestone event, the former Naked Chef host paid a touching tribute to his daughter, with an Instagram carousel of wholesome family photos including several sweet throwback images.

"You are an amazingly kind, thoughtful, forever surprising funny young lady and you make me proud every single day, I love you so much it actually hurts."

Speaking on Holly Tucker's Conversations of Inspiration podcast, Jools reflected: "It was really hard... You walk past their room once they're gone and you kind of cry… I cried all the way home on the train."
