No swearing! Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, 42, revealed he only allows his children to swear for up to a minute during the festive period
Jamie has five children, Poppy, 15, Daisy, 14, Petal, eight, Buddy, seven, and 16-month-old River, with wife Jools.
Of his own profanity, he said: 'I love it but as a dad, I don't like it. I say, "How do you know that?" My boy [Buddy] makes them rhyme as well.'
While Jamie doesn't like his kids using inappropriate language, he has been known to throw in a touch of innuendo while writing recipes for some of his cookery books.
He added: 'I do write a couple of pervy recipes in each book. The best food to arouse? Light, not spicy. Something soft and easy.'
Jamie is shaking up tradition once more this year in what he calls a 'controversial decision'.
Family: The Naked Chef said he bans his five children, Poppy, 15, Daisy, 14, Petal, eight, Buddy, seven, and 16-month-old River, who he shares with wife Jools - from saying expletives all year round but makes a one-minute expectation at Christmas time
The chef has put his foot down with his wider family, saying he'll only be dishing up the turkey and trimmings to his own brood.
He won't be completely off-duty for the big day, adding: 'For 15 years I've done the big Christmas and everyone's come to us, there's like 30 people.
'But two years ago I said, "This feels like work" so last year and this year it's just my mob, so the kids and my missus.'
Not to worry for those forgotten family members, as Boxing Day will remain an open invitation.
He added: 'The next day we do it for a big mob but it's cheeses, cold cuts, pickles, we buy interesting things and make a couple of bits - I knock out some nice bread and that's about it.'
'The Russell Howard Hour' will air Thursday, 14th December at 10pm on Sky One
