Jools Oliver has been battling “deeply scary” long Covid, according to husband Jamie Oliver.
The celebrity chef, 47, has been married to Jools, whose real name is Juliette, since 2000. They share five children together.
Speaking to Mail +, Jamie revealed that his wife has been suffering from long Covid for two years.
He said: “She’s had bad Covid and long Covid, so she’s been really affected by it, sadly. She’s OK, but still not what she wants to be.
“It’s been two years. She finds it deeply scary. We’re all over Harley Street like a rash, but no one really knows anything. The data on long Covid is still piling in.
“She’s been an absolute superstar.”

Jamie also revealed that he was dedicating his new cookbook, One: Simple One-Pan Wonders, to his wife.
He told how she hadn’t seen it yet, but was hoping the gesture would score him “some brownie points.”
He says the book is “simple, delicious recipes with minimal washing up.”
