Jamie Redknapp fans divided after star's latest picture

Jamie Redknapp has divided opinions of his followers after sharing a picture of his Christmas dinner.

The former footballer had hired a professional chef to dish up for him and his family over the holidays. He was joined by his wife, Frida, and his kids as well as his mum and dad, Harry and Sandra Redknapp.

There was a table full of a vast array of dishes, including roasties, sprouts and parsnips as Jamie showed off the cook behind them. The final image showed the sportsman smiling with the chef, as he captioned the post: "Happy Christmas and God Jul. Love from our family. Amazing food @rest_story."

Some fans weren't happy with him as he shared a slice of his Christmas day. They claimed to have "lost respect" for him and claimed he was "bragging".

One user wrote: "Not your best post Jamie, bragging about having a 2 star chef cook for you and the family when there's a cost of living crisis in the country just now and many people couldn't afford to cook for themselves or heat their homes. Lost a huge amount of respect for you after this one."

Phillip said: "So sad that you can post pictures like that having your own chef to do your Xmas dinners when so many people are struggling to feed there kids & heat there house. It must be nice to have that money!! Players over paid & pundits. Have some respect!!!"

A third added: "Cook your own food! Why be so overly indulgent. It's not hard to do."

However, others praised Jamie for giving the chef recognition and saw nothing wrong with him spending his cash on giving someone a job. One user said: "Oooh send him round! Looks incredible and I love that you showed recognition for him.. (It’s ok to have a chef cook their Christmas dinner... that’s what chefs do.)"

Mick said: "Maybe the chef is working because he wants/needs the extra money. Maybe he's being paid a small fortune to do so. So wind your neck in and be offended elsewhere!!!"

Another added: "Keeping someone in employed and could be a treat. Buying everyone Rolex watches is showing off...If l could afford it l would too get a chef in."
