British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's eponymous group of Italian restaurants said it would close six of its UK eateries, citing pressures and uncertainty after the country voted to leave the European Union.

"As every restaurant owner knows, this is a tough market and post-Brexit, the pressures and unknowns have made it even harder," said Simon Blagden, CEO of the Jamie Oliver Restaurant group, which also includes high street restaurants such as Fifteen, Barbecoa and Union Jacks.
