It's a case of like father, like son in more ways than one for Jamie Oliver and his lookalike son Buddy. The chef's Instagram fans are going wild over his latest post which shows a very cute nine-year-old Buddy learning to fillet a fish with his famous dad. Jamie wrote: "Buddy filleting again and getting better with practice. Who else has a mini chef who loves cooking in the kitchen with them?? Would you guys be up for a kids' cooking club???" We can't believe how much Buddy looks like his dad – the same eyes and cheeky grin – he is certainly his dad's mini-me.

WATCH: Jamie talk about cooking for his wife Jools

It's adorable that Buddy is showing an interest in his dad's profession, learning those key culinary skills at an early age. He's certainly got the best teacher to show him the ropes and we're totally here for a kids' cooking club.

The star's fans also liked his idea of a children's cooking club, sharing their family experiences in the kitchen. One said: "My boys love cooking with me and I love having them in the kitchen. Just like my Mum did with me when I was young. Kids cooking club sounds amazing." And one mum told Jamie: "Yes to kids cooking club! I have 4 babies between 4 and 14 years old and they all began helping in the kitchen when they were toddlers!"

Looks like this might be Jamie's next big project…
