Jamie Oliver applies to build TV studio in his garden to serve up more shows
JAMIE Oliver hopes to serve up more shows from his manor house — and has applied to build a TV studio in his garden.
Jamie, 47, who made a series from the 12-bed home’s kitchen in lockdown, wants to turn a barn into a film-set.
Plans state the studio at Grade 1-listed Spains Hall in Finchingfield, Essex, could be used seven days a week.
Details lodged with Braintree Council say filming would attract no more than 25 cars a day.
An ecological assessment recommended dad-of-five Jamie fits two bird-boxes, a hedgehog box and a bee box.

He is currently filming a Channel 4 show.
