The joys of family life! Jools Oliver has taken to Instagram to share a funny photo of daughter Petal having a meltdown over the issue of her outfit. The Instagram snapshot shows seven-year-old Petal in the middle of a tantrum while sat with her two brothers, six-year-old Buddy Bear and baby River Rocket – who are dressed in matching prints.

"As it's Thursday… a few weeks back, that time Buddy mentioned to Petal that she wasn't really wearing the same outfit as him and River!!!" Jools captioned the picture. "Went down brilliantly ?❤xxx."

Petal, Buddy and River are Jools' youngest three children with husband Jamie Oliver. The couple are also parents to daughters Poppy Honey, 14, and 13-year-old Daisy Boo.

Just recently Jamie revealed that the couple have had to hire a night nurse because both he and Jools have been so "battered" after five weeks of looking after little River.

"Sleep deprivation makes the most wonderful people just, unreasonable," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "It hit us hard this year, really hard, because you know we've got two teenagers and it's teenagers things, and you've got a six and a seven-year-old as well, and they're up as well."

Jools and Jamie welcomed River Rocket, their fifth child, on 8 August

He continued: "I've got a night nurse, and she started a week ago, so five weeks in, so you know, we got battered for five weeks, and I was trying to help out, and do the night feed, and then go and do 15 hours of filming at the end of Southend pier, and that was tough!"

Jools, meanwhile, recently faced criticism from a small handful of her followers for apparently 'putting pressure' on other mums to get back into shape.

The star had shared a photo of herself wearing a new pair of trousers – and when some fans complained she was setting unrealistic goals, Jools hit back.

"For god sake I still have heaps to lose as I said earlier my t-shirt hides a lot!!," she wrote. "So please next time if I irritate you just unfollow me it was just meant to be a nice pic of a pair of good trews but has to turn in to a weight issue - seems a bit weird to me and a totally shame!"
