Jamie Oliver scolded by his mum after sharing snap of baby River Rocket lying on the 'hard floor'

He may be a grown man with children of his own – but that doesn’t mean Jamie Oliver is immune from a telling-off from his mum.

The celebrity chef faced her wrath on Thursday after he shared a sweet image of his smiling eight-month-old son, River Rocket, on Instagram.

The baby is lying on his back on a tiled floor, beaming a smile up at his dad.

Jamie shared the image with his fans, captioning it: ‘Morning little boy…..always good to get a nice smile’.

While many commented on how adorable his newborn looked, the snap didn’t go down well with River’s grandmother, Sally.

She commented on the post: ‘This adorable child! He looks so like you as a baby! But please get him off that hard floor now.’

While another said: ‘Haha…I love that your mom busted you!!! Go Granny!!!’

However, when one man stepped in to defend the celebrity chef, his mother replied: ‘You’re quite right, the floor is very clean and River is very well cared for, I was only teasing Jamie.’

Jamie and wife Jools are also parents to four more children, Poppy, 15, Daisy, 14, Petal, eight and Buddy, six.

All looking deceivingly angelic after they conspired to make Grandpa fall in the pond! ????????????
