Jamie Oliver's restaurants go into administration

There's no getting around that it's been tough out there on the High Street recently. We've already seen the collapse of Patisserie Valerie and now here comes the most high-profile collapse yet. Jamie Oliver has announced that his restaurant group has gone into administration. 

25 of his restaurants are affected - mainly Jamie's Italians - but there are two high-profile restaurants too, Barbecoa (in St Paul's) and his flagship restaurant, Fifteen (the London restaurant only, Cornwall is not affected).
