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.
