He said: "To any of the 100's of FAMILIES effected by this terrible fire at Grenfell Tower Notting hill today, You are all welcome to come hang out in my restaurant and be fed and watered by my Jamies Italian team."

"[...]this is for victims of the fire our thoughts, love and prayers are with you all big love jamie x x x x "
