Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has revealed his plans to retire – once he’s cut the scale of UK’s child obesity crisis in half.
Speaking to Balance magazine, the 42-year-old chef revealed his plans to ‘go all out for the next 12 years to get things where they should be.’
‘And then I will happily f****** retire. I could throw the towel in now and see my kids growing up and that would be lovely,’ he told the publication.
The father-of-five – who has secured the number one spot on Balance’s Wellness 100 List – shares Poppy, 15, Daisy, 14, Petal, eight, Buddy, seven, and 20-month-old River with his wife of almost two decades, Jools Oliver.
