LONDON - According to a poll from Bounty, the UK’s favourite parenting club, TV Chef and champion of children’s healthy eating, Jamie Oliver and his supportive wife Jules have been named as the famous family that British parents would most like their own family to be like. Surprisingly, despite announcing their split yesterday and winning a libel trial over an article portraying them as bad parents, Katie Price & Peter Andre were only just beaten to the top spot by 6% of the votes.
Parents of three girls, Jamie and Jules have been married for nine years this summer and their traditional set up clearly appeals to modern parents, with nearly 1 in 3 parents choosing the Olivers over other celebrity parents.
Faye Mingo of parenting club Bounty, who carried out the survey, said, “It’s no surprise the Oliver family have been voted number one. They represent a perfectly matched partnership. Jamie’s down-to-earth personality, coupled with Jules supportive nature, makes for a strong relationship. Despite the announcement of Katie and Peter’s spilt the couple had become well known for being focused on their family.”
Jamie and Jules fought off stiff competition from a range of famous parents including America’s first couple Barack & Michelle Obama who scooped third place.
Surprisingly, America’s fictional family of misfits, The Simpsons beat the ‘Brangelina’ clan to fourth place. Whilst Gordon and Sarah Brown limped in last alongside Madonna.
The results for favourite famous family, as voted by members of Bounty Parenting Club, were as follows:
1st Jamie & Jules Oliver 2nd Katie Price & Peter Andre 3rd Barack & Michelle Obama 4th The Simpsons 5th Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie 6th Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin 7th Charlotte Church & Gavin Henson 8th The Beckhams 9th Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes 10th Ricky & Bianca Butcher 11th Gordon & Sarah Brown and Madonna Editors notes: - Bounty (www.bounty.com) is the UK’s favourite parenting club, providing information, support and products for young families throughout the four key-life stages: pre-birth, birth, toddlers and pre-school. - With 2.5 million members and over 50,000 new members joining every month, Bounty has approximately 95% market coverage of the estimated 750,000 annual births in the UK. - www.bounty.com is the UK’s favourite parenting website and the largest online meeting point for mums in the UK with over 19 million pages being served each month, 700,000 opted-in members and a further 15,000 new members joining each month
