Jamie and Jools Oliver welcomed their fifth child River Rocket into the world last month.

The couple, who got married in 2000, are parents to Poppy, 14, Daisy, 13, Petal, seven, Buddy, five and six-weeks-old River Rocket.

From posting adorable family photos, joking about vasectomies and looking incredible weeks after giving birth we are in love with the Oliver family.

And their latest confession has made us love them even more. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live Afternoon Edition, Jamie confessed that the happy couple have struggled with their fifth child – like all parents do.

The dad-of-five has revealed that with his fifth child River it was hard: "For the first time ever I've got a night nurse, and she started literally a week ago.

"Five weeks in, so we got battered for five weeks and I was trying to help out and do the night feed and then go and do fifteen hours of filming and that was tough."

He also admitted: "Sleep deprivation makes the most wonderful people just unreasonable.

"It's really, really hard whether it's your first or your fifth."

He later went on to say: "Every mother and father – especially the mothers – but every mother and father have their own way and I hope they all find their own way.

"We've generally done them all the same apart from this one, which is golden."

Aww bless them!

Jamie also recently uploaded the CUTEST picture of baby River smiling for the first time. On Instagram he wrote: "Haha River's First proper smile Brilliant who knows what's going though his head but I like it. Big love guys have a good day I send you a smile with love joxxx"
