The Naked Chef TV show, produced by BBC Two ran for three series plus three Christmas specials. Series 1 & 2 were filmed at Jamie’s home with each theme taking on a popular social occasion everything from a hen night to cooking for his then-girlfriend (now wife) Jools to babysitting his cousins. Series 3 was filmed in various locations were Jamie even cooked for Jamiroquai. He also successfully launched his first cookbook, The Naked Chef off the back of the show which quickly became a No. 1 UK bestseller.
