PICTURED: Jamie Oliver and unlikely guest Orlando Bloom film Food Fight scenes together... as he is seen for the first time since burglary at his £7m property

His £7million North London home was robbed earlier this month and television chef Jamie Oliver was pictured for the first time following the incident, with Orlando Bloom on Thursday.

He looked as professional as ever as he filmed an upcoming episode of Jamie And Jimmy's Food Fight Club alongside his co-star Jimmy Doherty and the unlikely celebrity guest.

The 40-year-old TV chef was on good form, laughing and joking as he rustled up some culinary delights alongside the Lord Of The Rings actor at his pop-up pier café in Southend-on-Sea.

Jamie clearly hasn't let his home invasion get him down, putting on his usual lively display in the kitchen for the Channel 4 show.

The stars hadn't coordinated their wardrobes in advance since both farmer Jimmy and and Hollywood actor Orlando were rocking denim shirts.

Jamie and his childhood pal Jimmy have clearly pulled out all the stops to score A-list guests for their new series, which sees them exploring Britain's diverse food heritage and forgotten eats, and whipping up tasty local dishes from their pop-up restaurant.

Past celebrity guests have included actress Sienna Miller and Olympic athlete Usain Bolt, so Orlando is in good company.

The handsome actor looked a little worn out as he left the filming venue, no doubt exhausted after being put through his paces and learning the steps to making his favourite meal.

Meanwhile, Jamie recently hit the headlines when it emerged his family home, which he shares with his wife of 15 years Jools and their four children, had been ransacked by thieves.

The robbers are believed to have forced their way through a garage before breaking into the basement and stole two electrical items.

A neighbour then called 999 after seeing an open door at the property one night earlier this month.

The Oliver family are thought to have been staying at their country home in Essex at the time of the burglary since they are in the process of leaving the house and moving in to a new £10million home in Hampstead.
