Jamie OliverJamie OliverBad news has struck the Oliver household...

There has been an armed robbery at Jamie Oliver's parents' pub.

But hopefully they will catch the culprits... Jamie has come up with a plan.

He has offered a whopping £150,000 reward to help catch the robbers who stole £10,000 from his mum and dad.

Four thugs wielding hammers and baseball bats allegedly pushed an 80-year-old kitchen worker to the floor and hit another man.

It appears they then forced open the safe at Trevor and Sally Oliver's inn, The Cricketers, in Essex, quickly doing a runner after grabbing the loot.

A spokesman for Jamie, who is away on business in the US, said: "He is angry. He grew up in the pub and first started to learn to cook there.

"He's shocked that this kind of thing happens in a small village."
