Jamie doesn't give a pucker

Posted by Stewart Turner
If you’re a doting fan of campaigning TV superchef Jamie Oliver and thinking of plodding along to one of his book signings in the hope of planting a big, fat smacker on his lips, think again.
Jamie has apparently slapped a ban on any of his female fans kissing him – because he’s afraid of catching something nasty! He even employs a burly bouncer called Acer to keep them in check.
“These girls asking for a peck, how many have got the clap, herpes… been around a bit?” asked Jamie rhetorically. “I’m very loyal to my wife and if I keep kissing them it’s only a numbers game before I get herpes – and I’ll be growing flapjack on my lip.
“So I said to Acer, ‘Can you just say no more kisses’?” said the chef, adding for potential admirers, “Don’t ever come to the book signing if you’ve ever had clap, crabs or herpes.”
So, what do you think about the fat-tongued chef’s outburst? Is it fair comment, or should he show more respect to his female fans? Could he be missing out on a “pukka” new flapjack recipe?
Tell us what you think below.

I think it's laughable that Jamie is teaching the kids food hygiene! He licks his fingers and the spoon and then puts both back in the pot.Then stirs salads up with the same (unwashed) hands! Yuk. I used to work in school kitchens, and the hygiene there is very very strict. He would not have got past our cooks eagle-eyes!!

toys back in the prams people. This is a comment that has been taken completely out of context. It was uttered by him as a joke to his security guard a looooooong time ago when he was a lot younger and pre-kids. It's been reported very badly and made to sound as though he said this just last week. Not true.

Oh Jamie - he's done it again! There really is no need to be quite so rude. Personally I wouldn't be impressed by his signature in a book, wouldn't want to kiss him or any other "celeb" & have told my family if they want to get me his new book wait until January when it will be half price!
He was a breath of fresh air when he first began "naked" such enthusiasm and passion, still got it but doesn't seem to have enough words to describe how he feels without 4 letter words etc.
On the subject of his colourful language - he will never be able to say "I don't know where they heard language like that" about his children will he? Whatever made him go down the Gordon Ramsay route when he had a great style all his own that young and old seemed to love.

A bit dramatic Jamie, though I do agree that it's your choice. There are few STD's potentially transmitted through saliva, but you're right, it is a numbers game and entirely your choice.
On the other hand, perhaps you should reconsider as you're no James Martin!

He has a right to his own personal space but there are ways of saying this, he did not need to infer that his fans had such conditions. He needs to think before he speaks. If this is a typical demonstration of how he wishes to behave he will lose many loyal fans that buy his books and give him royalties.

He is within his rights to stop his fans kissing him, however there is no excuse for bad manners. Whats wrong with making his point but in an adult manner.I used to think he was ok but its obvious he thinks too much of himself.

I think this is so funny. I never liked Jamie Oliver.
It just show when they think they someting big, they forget who but them there.
It was his fan. If it was not for his fans, he be some little chef, working in a hotel.

DISGUSTING FILTHY MOUTHED FAT SLOB. HE COULDN'T GET ANY MORE FILTH ON OR IN HIS BIG GOB. THINKS NOTHING OF EFFING AND BLINDING ON T.V. WHEN HE KNOWS KIDS ARE WATCHING. PRESUME WHILST BEING LOVELY TO HIS WIFE HE USES THE SAME LANGUAGE TO HIS KIDS

Good for you Jamie, its about time someone spoke out instead of just saying what the fans want to hear.I completely agree with him, he is not public property, and believe it or not he can decide for himself if he wants every germ infested woman planting a kiss on him, and yes the young females do have themselves to blame they should think themselves about keeping to one person.... fat chance.

Thick, ugly, rude and up himself. He'll be stopping the book signing sessions then?
Posted by: Jo | 10 October 2008 at 23:23
looks like jamie just shattered his empire, what a disgrace to men and women. Whoever thought this young man would turn into a big ugly fat loafing idiot? Oh yeah we all did. He is trying to be a smart ass like ramsey who is also another idiot. none of them can cook to save their lives. You just lost a book sell from all of us here. Kiss that fat boy!!!

I would lick my rescued Battery Hens bottoms first than wish to kiss J.O. By the way Jamie you certainly haven't done yourself any favours because I am Not purchasing any more of your books.Your a disgrace to men & far too insulting.Your empire will crumble now mate because I am not spending my £20.99 on your new book.I will spend it on Nigella from now on.. at least she has manners is beautiful has etiquette class & charm & she doesn't dribble & snort!

Ha Ha I knew he could be more obnoxious he has grown too big for his pinny. I would Never kiss him or any other person I didn't know well.I dont wish to have Cold Sores Thanks.As for the sexually transmitted kind of germs he needs to go back to school.Firstly to learn about sex ed and secondly to learn about food hygiene.Oh & heck thirdly he needs to know that he is not 'Elvis'.It's only the women with poor eyesight who wish to kiss him.Wonder how he would react if Pammy Anderson was there to meet him with a pucker up huh? Yeah See Jamie typical MCP.

Well, someone at last got some balls and stood their ground. Although in this PC UK we have today, people will complain about it as always. Jamie I do belive though you wont have done yourself any favours here mate. I think jamie should now run a campaign to stop the fur trade of dogs and cats in China as a way of saying sorry!!!
Posted by: L Dunn | 10 October 2008 at 12:39
i didn,t think that jamie oliver could get any more obnoxious, but he has with those comments. its an insult to all his female fans and if i was them, i wouldn,t go to his book signings anymore and teach him a lesson
Posted by: quasar | 10 October 2008 at 12:29
Anyway I would be happy with a hug
Posted by: Rita | 10 October 2008 at 12:12
I totally agree with him I hate it when strangers or people I don't love kiss me.
Posted by: Rita | 10 October 2008 at 12:05
Does Jamie think you can catch genital lice from a peck on the cheek? I think he needs to check his facts before he mouths off in future.

Look Girls I know you all see me as some kind of sex god...which I am of course!!!but Im sorry to tell you but no kisses for any of you...these are My lips so sod off!!! :-)lol
Posted by: Jamie Oliver | 10 October 2008 at 11:38
So, he just wants to kiss the boys then?
Posted by: David | 10 October 2008 at 11:35
His personal space. His right.
Posted by: rhonda | 10 October 2008 at 11:09
Why would anyone want to kiss slobber-lips anyway. After all girls you don't know if He has a nasty surprise waiting for you!
Posted by: Dave | 10 October 2008 at 11:09
Ha ha .. I think it's really funny and I don't blame him! What's even funnier is that people have gotten so upset about it. Why would you kiss a complete stranger anyway? You only "know" him because you've seen him on tv...grow up girls!!
Posted by: Alison | 10 October 2008 at 10:54
my mum would knock his bodyguard out and still kiss him. poor bloke.

GET OVER IT!
SO WHAT? HE IS RIGHT.
NO TACT MAYBE, BUT THATS WHY HIM AND RAMSEY ARE ON TV-HIS MANNER IS ENTERTAINING. THATS A BIG REASON HE IS FAMOUS YOU NONCES!
THERE ARE A LOT OF DELUDED FEMALES ON HERE..WHAT MAKES THEM THINK THEIR KISSES ARE SO PRICELESS?
Posted by: gren | 10 October 2008 at 10:29
I think this guy thinks too highly of himself...what woman in their right mind would want to plant a smacker on this jumped up little twonk in the first place....
Posted by: Jamie's Mum | 10 October 2008 at 10:26
I think he has a point but he could have put his point across with a little more tact, obviously he has spent so much of his time learning to cook that manners and diplomacy took a backward stand
Posted by: Tracie | 10 October 2008 at 10:02
I think he is right to say no but has totally gone the wrong way about it making out as if everyone women or girl sleeps around has he no respect for any women. He coud have anything and pass it on to the girls who want to kiss him so what gives him the right to assume every girl has something the cheeky git and tell you the truth whoever wants to kiss him needs their eyes testing personally. sort yourself out Jamie your not gods gift.
Posted by: Nic | 10 October 2008 at 09:53
I think he has the right to say no more kisses, but for all the wrong reasons, like someone said he could be passing things around himself, and these are total strangers that are kissing him, and whos to say he doesn't enjoy kissing the 'better looking girls'. I have mixed feelings about this, but i think Jamie should have thought it through before he said things like he doesn't want to catch herpes or things like that.... thats the way to loose fans Jamie!!
Posted by: Tanya | 10 October 2008 at 09:41
Anyone leaving negative comments does not think about themselves, it works both ways.
Just think about how many people you kiss and how many he kisses you are most likely to catch stuff from his lips! Will he be you best cook when he gives you herpes????????????
Posted by: Keith | 10 October 2008 at 09:28
What's wrong with a peck on the cheeks?
Posted by: angeleye | 10 October 2008 at 09:20
I think Jamie is spot on. Who the hell wants to kiss a complete stranger you never know who they have been with. Mind you shaking hands is just as bad.
Posted by: sheila | 10 October 2008 at 09:14
Umm ............ would any females actually wanna kiss him?????????? Yeuchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Posted by: Loobus | 10 October 2008 at 09:10
I think he has a bloody cheek to tell you the truth, he wants us to do his pass it on, but his fans get nothing back from him!!!, who the hell does he think he is, i used to think he was a great bloke but i am starting to go off him.!....Grow up Jamie!
Posted by: debbie | 10 October 2008 at 09:09
yep... he's absolutely right to ban it... the young of today have only their selves to blame,there is so many nasty deseases around ya can't be to pucker careful.
