Jamie Oliver bravely shares kids' health diagnosis as he lifts lid on 'bonkers' family

has revealed that his children are neurodivergent as he opened up about his "amazing but bonkers" family. The TV chef shares five children, daughters Poppy, 23, Daisy, 22, and Petal, 16, and sons Buddy, 14, and River, eight, with his wife Jools.

The Naked Chef, who is dyslexic, opened up about his health concerns in a new documentary, Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution. Now, the 50-year-old star has revealed that his children have been diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD and ASD (autism spectrum disorder) in the past year. Speaking in a new interview about the challenges his family face, he explained that he and his wife often discuss their children in bed every night and have "learnt to understand that their behaviour is because they're seeing things differently."

Although the culinary expert didn't reveal which child had been diagnosed with which condition, talking to , he said that being aware of his family's differences "allows you to be a better parent". He added: "Imagine four neurodiverse people at the dinner table trying to get their point across."

The doting dad also pointed out how different things were when he was young regarding neurodivergence, saying that people "didn't know as much about our brains 30 years ago".

Neurodivergent is a term that describes people whose brains function differently, comprising of conditions including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that causes problems with reading, writing, spelling, and difficulties with processing.

Jamie's comments come he recalled being branded a "stupid dunce" at school and said his tough learning curve left him feeling "worthless, stupid, and thick".

Ahead of the release of his documentary, he said: "I'm unpacking quite a lot of stuff and I'm oversharing with you because I've got to f***ing work this s**t out, I thought I'd buried it but it's hitting a nerve.

"I didn't have any extra time in exams, there were no strategies, just a bit of extra tutoring help. There was no robust dyslexic knowledge then."

Jamie is now calling for urgent changes in schools, including early dyslexia screening and more teacher training in neurodiversity. Praising teachers, he insisted they were doing a good job, but claimed they needed to be properly trained to deal with unique students.

His eye-opening documentary, which will air on Channel 4 later this month, will ask whether the UK education system is doing enough to support children with dyslexia - and if not, what can be done to help them.

The Jamie's School Dinners star has already met with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson and says the campaign is even tougher than his famous fight to get healthier food for kids across the UK.
