Jamie & Jules Oliver Crowned UK's Favourite Famous Family Beating 'Set-to-Split' Katie & Peter

LONDON, May 12/PRNewswire/ -- According to a poll from http://www.bounty.com, 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 website Bounty.com, 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:
