Taking to Instagram on Sunday, doting dad Jamie shared a heartwarming throwback video of Buddy in the kitchen, inspiring parents to get creative with their recipes during half term. "Right, who’s got the kids at home for half-term next week and planning some activities to keep them entertained?" Jamie began. 

"How about getting them in the kitchen… It's cheap for a start, it’s fun and they will learn so much from it. I honestly believe they are never too young to get started." Watch the video below… 

Buddy was a pro in the kitchen despite his young age, confidently cutting vegetables to make a salad for the family. 

Fans were quick to react to Jamie's post, echoing the proud dad's excitement at his son's epic skills. "My kids loved being involved in the kitchen when they were little, helped them get over being fussy eaters when they were hands-on involved with food preparation. Now as adults, they still love experimenting with tasty meals each week. Thanks for all the recipes Jamie."

Speaking about his son's love for cooking, Jamie previously said: "Buddy’s been my shadow in the kitchen since he was tiny and he has always found cooking a real adventure.

"As a dad who cooks it’s been such a joy to watch and be a part of his journey learning new skills and cooking new dishes… And now he’s released his own cookbook showing you’re never too young to start making incredible things, getting stuck in and having a proper laugh along the way."
