' Jamie will be heading to their Surrey mansion to help prepare Christmas dinner,' says a source. Brad , 48, originally hoped to cook everything himself - but he was worried his poor skills in the kitchen would ruin things if Jamie , 36, hadn't agreed to step in. 'He begged Jamie for cookery lessons last year,' the source tells The Sun. ' Jamie tried to teach him but he's useless in the kitchen.'
