Jamie Oliver has admitted not kissing his "minging" fans for fear of contracting herpes.

The TV chef said he refrained from physical contact at book signings to protect himself from the sexually transmitted infection.

Oliver's comments, made on the same day as his latest London book signing, are unlikely to go down well with his fans.

The 33-year-old said: "In the old days (of book signings) I used to get the knickers and the bras. It was good. Filth whispered in me ears."

He said: "They're just bored of me now. I'm just that geezer who keeps, you know, doing these worthy things around the country."
