Jonathan Ross welcomes Jamie Oliver to his Friday night show
This week Jonathan Ross welcomes Jamie Oliver to his BBC One show, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
Talking about the nation's health, Jamie says: "It's going to be a horror show...the health system is crumbling, and when it's gone we'll be so sad because we're breaking it.
"The last time our government did something radical about health was the Ministry of Food."
On school dinners, he adds: "It'll be nine years before we get a service across the board, we're on track, we need more money for kitchens for every school...we've got a government that's talking about it a lot, I want to know who's running it so they can do a good job."
He also talks about turning down an invitation to join the Government: "I've been asked to join government quangos [but] my job is to stay out of politics and be a constant pain in the a**e."
Finally, on becoming a father again, he says: "I don't know what sex it is, Jools has names but she won't tell anyone because she thinks people will rip her off.
"People say I keep talking about having a boy. If I had a choice it would be a boy but I'm happy so long as it's healthy."
Jonathan also talks to transatlantic Little Britain stars David Walliams and Matt Lucas, Brit-flick comedy star Simon Pegg and there's music from Keane.
A Hotsauce TV production for BBC One.
