Jamie Oliver's wife posts rare family photos from daughter Poppy's graduation
Jamie Oliver's proud wife Jools shared rare family photos from their daughter Poppy's graduation ceremony.
The celebrity chef, 48, and his 48-year-old wife's daughter, Poppy, walked across the stage to accept her university degree this week and her proud family were there to watch the special moment.
Jool took to Instagram to share a series of photos of the day, which had Poppy rocking a dark blue dress with ruffled tiers as well as her graduation cap and gown.
"What a wonderful, happy extremely emotional day celebrating Poppys graduation," Jools wrote. "We have never felt so proud. At the age of 4 you came home from school without your first reading book as they felt that you were not ready though many of your classmates were.
"You were so upset, so I brought you the same books and we read them together every night at bedtime and you came on in leaps and bounds! It was wonderful to watch. That’s my earliest memory of your complete obsession with books, reading and writing and thankfully it has never stopped!"

Jools shared photos from the special day (@joolsoliver/Instagram)The proud mum continued: "Pops this really is an end of an era and we can not wait to see what your next challenge and adventure brings.
"Thinking of all the students who have been unable to receive their degrees, not have their work marked and their grades delayed. With Poppys year being the ‘Covid freshers’ they really deserve better that being the understatement!!!
"So much sweat and tears literally went into Pop finishing her dissertation and final exams. Hours and hours spent in the library most days till midnight!
"They all deserve to be acknowledged and they deserve to get their degree and celebrate their graduation. Hoping this happens very soon."
One snap showed Jools wrapping her arms around her daughter as they sat on the university steps to pose for the camera.
Of course, it isn't graduation without a classic snap of the graduate throwing their hat in the air.

Jools and TV chef Jamie have five children together, including Poppy, Daisy Boo, 19, Petal Blossom, 13, Buddy Bear, 11, and River Rocket, five.
The couple have been together since they were 18 and recently celebrated their 23rd anniversary this year.
