Though the restaurant used for jamie Oliver's reality show and teaching project was undamaged in the fire, morale is low and an employee is under investigation for arson.

A manager at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Melbourne has been questioned by arson detectives over a fire at the chef's office in the Australian city.

The building was used by Oliver's Fifteen Foundation and suffered damage valued at A$1 million (£487,000).

The man of 32, described as holding "a senior management position" at Fifteen, also had his home searched by officers.

The restaurant, which was not damaged, opened in 2006 as part of scheme to train disadvantaged young people.
