Jools Oliver and her husband Jamie already have five children together but she's keen for a sixth baby by the end of 2018.

Despite chef Jamie Oliver's saying he wasn't keen on having more children in the past, it seems the couple haven't ruled out the idea completely.

In a rare interview on the podcast Made by Mammas, Jools revealed that she wants another baby – and quick!

Podcast hots Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton asked Jools if the couple were content with their five children and, although Jools admitted she was very happy with five, she admitted you can't beat a little newborn in your arms.

When she was outright asked if Jamie and her were done expanding their family Jools replied: 'No! I am going to be 44 in November so it would be nice to get it in before I am 44, but you don’t know if anything is going to happen. After that I think I'm getting a bit too old. I am very happy with what I've got, but a little baby, you can't beat it!'

Jools and Jamie recently celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and posted doting messages to each other on social media.

Posting a photo from their wedding day Jools wrote: 'Happy happy anniversary my soul mate 💘 the person I want to wake up to every morning. The person who still makes my heart skip a beat when I see his name on my phone. When I really need you, you are there when I am scared you reassure me and when I am tired you make me a dam good cup of coffee!!!! You would do anything for us and most of all you make me feel safe. Love you more than all these words ❤ xxx

Jools and Jamie welcomed their fifth child, River, to the world in August 2016 . They are also parents to 16-year-old Poppy, 15-year-old Daisy, 9-year-old Petal and 7-year-old Buddy.

With Jools' birthday just under five months away, we'll be keeping a watchful eye for any pregnancy announcements...
