To announce the birth, Jamie shared a picture of the baby and wrote: "And then this just happened guys !! IT'S A BABY BOY !! Everyone in the Oliver family is very surprised and beyond happy.
"He arrived safely, mum @joolsoliver was really really amazing, unbelievably composed, natural birth and my two eldest girls got to come in at the very end as the baby was born which was amazing to witness very very emotional.
"8 lbs ( that's 16 packs of butter for you bakers out there) anyway were all hitting the hay it's been a long day big love... bless a little baby boy Woop Woop !!!! And love to all you mums out there how amazing you are it blows my mind .... Big love jamie o p.s no baby names yet (sic)."

XXXX (sic)."
Jamie, 41, recently revealed that he was hoping for another son.
He said: "I thought we'd have a couple of kids but that's about it.
Basically, I do what I'm told, but she's an amazing family maker and I just go with it. A bit more testosterone would probably be a good thing, but do you know what, I'm just grateful for whatever I get if it's healthy."
The Oliver's join a long list of celebrities who have chosen alternative monikers for their children.
Some of the most unusual names include:
• Singer Gwen Stefani is mum to sons Kingston, Zuma Nesta Rock, and Apollo Bowie Flynn.
