In total, 25 restaurants are affected, 23 of which are from the Jamie’s Italian chain.
In statement on Twitter, Oliver said: “I’m devastated that our much-loved UK restaurants have gone into administration. I am deeply saddened by this outcome and would like to thank all of the people who have put their hearts and souls into this business over the years.”
