Inside Jamie and Jools Oliver's wedding vow renewal as couple recreate magical day

Jamie and Jools Oliver pulled out all the stops for their wedding vow renewal in the Maldives.

The celebrity chef, 47, married his childhood sweetheart, 48, 23 years ago and decided he wanted to say 'I do' again before the couple's five kids fly the nest.

In stunning pictures, the delighted duo can be seen larking around in the powdery white sand on which they danced barefoot.

Jules looked gorgeous in an off-the-shoulder white silk dress while Jamie sported a sky blue linen suit.

The proud parents were joined by their kids Poppy (21), Daisy (19) and Petal (14), Buddy (12) and youngest son River, six, who all looked happy for their mum and dad.

In one shot the family posed on the beach as they soaked up the sun on the picture-postcard island at the Soneva Fushi resort.

Poppy, Daisy and Petal all looked elegant in their white flowing dresses while the boys sported crisp white cotton shirts and blue shorts.

Buddy accompanied his mum as she made her way through an archway of palm leaves before Jules renewed her vows with Jamie.

The girls walked behind, holding bouquets of flowers before the whole family jumped in the sea and the chef kissed his bride.

Taking to Instagram with snaps of the special day, Jamie wrote: "He wrote: "Morning all, Me & @joolsoliver got married again ! Yep After 23 years together, we thought it would be a special moment to celebrate renewing our wedding vows before the kids all start leaving the nest.

"It was really special, funny and romantic with the words in the ceremony making more sense having come this far together. It seems like a blink since the first wedding which we kept very privet apart from the paparazzi at the village church we thought it would be a happy and joyful moment to share with you all this Easter.

"We’ve always dreamed of going to the Maldives and it was just as you would have dreamed, simply amazing ! a massive thank you to all the team at @discoversoneva for blowing our minds and making this moment so special and memorable big love guys Jamie oxxxxxxxxx."

The sun-kissed shots went down a storm with the couple's showbiz friends as new mum Daisy Lowe wrote: "Oh this is just the dream! Massive congratulations to you and your gorgeous family.

Meanwhile, Gary Barlow posted: "Aww, congratulations lovebirds."
