Jamie Oliver's Most Embarrassing #TT Flashback

Photo credit: People

There are some things in this life that you just can’t undo. Or in the case of Jamie Oliver, pictures you can’t untake. Case in point: the cheeky throwback photo that British chef posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

It’s Jamie Oliver. Shirtless. In a bubble bath. Surrounded by fruit.

"Hahhahaha I Just found this!!!!!!!!!!!! By far the worst photo shoot I’ve ever done," Oliver lamented in the accompanying caption. "My lord this is so bad. At what point did I think this was a good idea?? Where is the logic in a bubble bath full of fruit?"

For the record, the photo in question ran in People magazine back in 2000, when Oliver was deemed “sexiest chef” in its annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue. And as if the picture wasn’t embarrassing enough, the accompanying article recalls Oliver’s ill-fated attempt to cook au naturel. Yes. Seriously.

"Not a good idea," Oliver told the magazine. "The steam from the convection oven got through and burnt me old fella."

Yikes. At least he has a sense of humor about it!
