- Jamie Oliver revealed his struggles with undiagnosed dyslexia made him feel "stupid" at school, leading to ‘total resentment for education’.
- Oliver shared his experience in a new Channel 4 documentary, Jamie’s Dyslexia Revolution, which airs on June 9, describing the process of opening up as "viscerally painful".
- Having left school with two GCSEs, Oliver said the kitchen "saved" him, as he felt unsupported due to a lack of dyslexia knowledge at the time.
- Oliver felt "stupid, worthless and thick" and is now campaigning for greater support in schools, including early screenings for dyslexia and more teacher training.
