Jamie Oliver reveals his wife helps Jool helps keep his ego in check

Jamie Oliver was born on May 27, 1975, in Clavering, England.

“I grew up a real country boy in Clavering, in the county of Essex, about 18 miles from Cambridge,” he said.

“I have no idea why all these people I met later with my food show The Naked Chef on TV thought I was some privileged rich kid who went to a private school. Actually I was a chubby, thick kid who was so bad at school I needed extra lessons for the simplest things.”

He learned the importance of good ethics from his parents as they were working class and Jamie soon started helping out in pubs at the age of five. He was good at handling knives at an early age and often helped with chopping the vegetables and washing the glasses.
