TV chef Jamie Oliver is launching a new internet dating site to help food fanatics find love.

The 34-year-old star has said that couples who cook together are much more likely to stay together.

He said: “I’ve always found food to be a really powerful way of bringing people together. I thought it would be great if we could get people who loved food to love each other.”

Those looking for love can now create a profile and start looking for a partner at www.jamieoliver.com/dating. The new site is powered by the dating site Match.com.
