JAMIE Oliver has revealed that he and wife Jools have employed a night nurse to help deal with the sleep deprivation that they’ve been suffering after having their fifth child.
The TV chef, 41, told the BBC that five weeks after the birth of son River Rocket, the couple felt like they had been "battered" - especially as he was having to do 15-hour days of filming.
He said: “Sleep deprivation makes the most wonderful people just unreasonable.
"It's really, really hard whether it's your first or your fifth.
"It hit us hard this year, really hard, because you know we've got two teenagers and it's teenagers things, and you've got a 6 and a 7 year old as well, and they're up as well.
“I mean it was hard this time round.
"For the first time ever I've got a night nurse, and she started a week ago."
Night nurses can help families get into a good routine. They help to settle the baby after the mum has fed them.
While the Oliver’s never turned to a night nurse before, they decided this time around it would really help them.
