Jamie's Easy Christmas For Channel 4

Jamie Oliver is to feature in a one-off, 60-minute special on Channel 4 this Christmas.

The celebrity chef will be on hand to show viewers how to avoid disasters in the kitchen this Christmastime, and how to improve what people are already planning with the ingredients they have. The show will air ahead of Christmas Day.

Underpinning the show will be Jamie's survey of the British public to find out what stresses them out when it comes to cooking their perfect Christmas spread.

Commenting on the special, Jamie said: "This year's Christmas show is like nothing I've ever made before. Think of it as a nationwide team talk. I'm sharing all my tips, hacks and shortcuts to make sure you cook the ultimate Christmas meal. This is the one day of the year when more Brits than ever cook from scratch. We know some people are nervous, we know some people are cooking for the first time, and with guests to feed there's added pressure, so we're going to be there to help you make your big day a total success."

Jamie's Easy Christmas was commissioned by Rich Evans and is being made by Fresh One.
