YOU’VE got to sympathise with chef Jamie Oliver and wife Jools struggling for a decent night’s sleep after the birth of their latest son.

Now, the celebrity couple – who have four other children – have chucked in the towel and employed a night nurse. Yes, I know they can probably afford it but it’s very easy to forget that complete bone-weariness that comes from night after night with a fractious baby so, in my book, anything that helps is worth trying.

Wait until they’re in their teens. Then you lie awake worrying when they’ve not come home yet from some nightclub.
