Jamie Oliver and wife Jools have been able to share a joyous family moment as they reunited with their eldest daughter Poppy, 21, in Australia following her decision to travel the world with her partner, Ben.

The couple have shared several photos of their time together on their respective Instagram Stories, but it was Jools who shared the most heart-melting photo as the model and her daughter reunited in the rain. In the snap, the mum-of-five could be seen tightly embracing her eldest daughter, who wisely brought an umbrella with her given the downpour Sydney was experiencing at the time.

Jools opted for a casual ensemble for her trip Down Under, wearing a pair of skinny jeans and white shirt, while Poppy could be seen in a matching shirt and pink skirt. The doting mum also shared a photo of Poppy and partner Ben as they dined at a nearby restaurant.

Thankfully, the bad weather didn't last for their entire trip as Jamie shared a sun-soaked photo of himself posing with his daughter and Ben with the Sydney skyline making up the background of the snap.

During their reunion, the celebrity chef and his daughter decided to take on the Sydney Bridge Climb.

"It's my second time and always a pleasure be in awe of this beautiful city and the strong folks that made this bridge?! The weather was on the turn, and it was amazing the thunder and lightning in the distance was even better than a sunny day."
