Jamie Oliver's wife shares hilarious post to mark couple's 21st anniversary

Jamie Oliver's wife shares hilarious post to mark couple's 21st anniversary

Jamie Oliver's wife, Jools, has paid tribute to her husband of over two decades in a social media post.

To mark the couple's 21st wedding anniversary, the mum-of-five shared a photo of herself in her wedding dress followed by a hilarious video, apologising for what the celebrity chef has had to put up with since the big day.

"What you thought you were getting….what you actually got," Jools captioned the Instagram post.

"Thank you for loving me just the way I am!!!! You now have 5 bonkers children who secretly all take after me when it comes to a kitchen dance off," she joked.

"Love you so much my absolute legend husband!"

After thanking her wedding dress designer Neil Cunningham, the blogger says wistfully: "wish we could go back 21 years and do it again".

The couple first met when they were just teenagers and tied the knot on June 24, 2000, at All Saints Church in Essex, when they were both 25.

They'd known each other almost a decade before the big day, having met on a double date when they were 17.

"It was a double date, I had my Fiesta with lowered suspension and a sound system," The Naked Chef star said in a 2012 episode of talk show Chatty Man with Alan Carr.

"We were driving there that night and then I went smashing into the back of another car.

"[Jools] felt sorry for me. She thought 'the way he drives, he needs support in life'."

The couple have gone on to have five kids together — Poppy, 19; Daisy, 18; Petal, 12; Buddy, 10; and River, four.
