Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have welcomed their third daughter, who they have named Petal Blossom Rainbow.

The couple already have two daughters with floral-themed names, Poppy Honey, seven, and Daisy Boo, five.

According to a statement from the couple, Petal was born at London's Portland Hospital at 2.46am and weighed in at 6lbs 10oz.

The statement also said: "Both she and Jools are doing well.

"The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support.

"Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls."

Oliver cooked for the G20 leaders on Wednesday, the day his wife was due to give birth. Downing Street officials were poised to tell him if Jools went into labour.
