Jamie and his wife Jools announced back in November that they had welcomed a Border Collie puppy. Sharing the happy news at the time, Jools posted a snap of son Buddy Bear cuddling up to the beautiful dog.

Responding to a friend in the comments who asked Jools: "Did it happen?", the mother-of-five replied: "It did [laughing emoji], only took 20 years!!!", suggesting a furry friend has been on the cards for Jools and Jamie for a while.

A few weeks later, celebrity chef Jamie opened up about how they named their pooch, telling Chris Moyles: "There is a new member of the family called Conker who is a dog… Well yeah, the actual humans have generally been flowers. So Poppy, Daisy, Petal, Buddy - Buds - and River. Well that's not really a flower but without water they wouldn't grow."
