Jamie Oliver admits his dyslexia made him feel 'dumb' and 'misunderstood' at school - after revealing some of his children are also neurodivergent


The celebrity chef, 50, is sharing his experience with the condition in a new Channel 4 documentary called Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, which is due to air on June 9.

He told how he navigates his 'bonkers family' with Jools, 50, and their children, amid diagnoses of dyslexia, ADHD and ASD (autism spectrum disorder) in the past year. The TV star shares daughters Poppy, 23, Daisy, 22, and Petal, 16, and sons Buddy, 14, and River, eight, with his former model spouse, with the eldest two having flown the nest. And amid the conditions affecting many members of his family, Jamie went on to joke that home life is 'bonkers', remarking: 'Imagine four neurodiverse people at the dinner table trying to get their point across.'
