In the video, Jamie and his sons Buddy, 11, and River, five, could be seen cooking and tasting food in a montage that included Buddy slurping spaghetti and grating cheese to top pizzas as well as River chewing on a hearty baguette.

The dad-of-five captioned his post: "Got the kids at home this week or next for #HalfTerm?"

One commented: "I love how involved your kids and wife are in your day-to-day... makes me love everything you do even more [clapping emojis]," while another added: "Adorable kids. Enjoy half term."

A couple were a little less enthusiastic about Jamie's post, however, with one writing: "Is everything going to be on this app now … so no more free videos of your and buddies recipes [crying emoji]."

Another chimed in: "Good to see Jamie teaching kids to cook, how about teaching them to eat in a correct manner?!!"

A third commenter had a heartfelt plea for the 46-year-old, writing: "Love your recipes Jamie, can we have some nut free recipes in your books please? Love your books, but sometimes gutted when nuts are included in ingredients."

Another of Jamie's followers, however, summarised how much the chef and his eldest son had helped their family, sweetly commenting: "My son thinks Buddy is a legend… thanks for inspiring our fussy eaters with his show, they suggest trying his recipes out and it’s a winner each time!"
