Stay safe tonight."

The star is incredibly close to his family and revealed how "emotional" he got when Poppy temporarily returning home.
"I kept it quiet for two days because I was working super long days, and I knew that I couldn't take her home at a normal time and appreciate the excitement of having her back," he explained on the NewlyWeds podcast.
"So, she stayed in London, got over jet lag, freshened up, and then we took her home last night. Very emotional. Mum had no idea."
When Poppy embarked on her travels last year, Jools penned: "Oh my word well that was SO hard [red heart emoji] another milestone of parenting that I am not that into! It goes without saying that each and everyone one of us are going to miss you so deeply.
"I have lost my little school run/coffee mates now you and Dase have both almost flown the nest. Just be safe and happy and look after each other."
Speaking of her departure to university, Jamie confessed: "I've found it very hard letting go of my baby girl and being apart so long."
