"Happy Valentine's Day to my dear @joolsoliver love you babe enjoy your day. But please stop putting my treasured knives in the dishwasher… hope all you lovers out there have the best day," Jamie wrote.

Jools stood in the kitchen wearing dungarees and a printed T-shirt in the photo, leaning against a table topped with an assortment of fruit and eggs, and a wooden block displaying the knives mounted on the wall behind her.

Many of Jamie's fans could relate to his bugbear about his wife, but a lot also took Jools' side, suggesting that he should wash them up himself instead.

Jools didn't respond to Jamie's plea but instead shared a photo of Jamie cooking for them while sitting on a boat, and offered her own insight into their relationship. "Happy Valentine's Day my one and only. Thank you for all my treats and countless Cappuccinos always," she wrote.
