BBC Hairy Bikers' fans gutted at Si King and Dave Myers' 'sad' update

Hairy Bikers fans were gutted by the pair's latest update after their popular Go Local series wrapped.

Simon 'Si' King and Dave Myers have been cooking up a storm the length and breadth of the UK recently for their eight-episode show.

But after it was revealed that last night's outing of the BBC's Hairy Bikers Go Local was the last in the run, viewers were left feeling devastated, as writes The Mirror.

The stars informed fans of the news on social media, writing: "Sadly, the series has come to an end. We hope you enjoyed the series and the journey we went through with each episode, we look forward to seeing you on your telly sometimes soon."

They added: "Be sure to catch all of the episodes from GO LOCAL on iplayer! All recipes can be found on the @bbcgoodfood website. Love Si and Dave."

Viewers rushed to express their upset at the news in the comments, and offered some tips for the future too!

One said: "What a great series guys thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned a few cooking tips. Good luck in the future xx."

Another wrote: "Always enjoy our lovely Hairies!!!!! Still 2 recorded shows to watch, but also love old shows too....my fave was up North, but they can't all be the same.....keep them coming boys!!!!!!"

A third penned: "Thank you so much again to Si and Dave for visiting us in St Monans. It will be a day we (Colin, Billy & James) will never forget! Fantastic series and need to get myself some of that Norfolk Goose. Jemima loved watching her gramps and friends on TV."

Another critiqued: "Loved every episode except the one to my local area Northumberland, but maybe that was because the chef was not a local lad and seemed to show no interest in local produce."

A fifth offered: "Loved the series. Just one query, why feed the restaurant owners outside? Several eps the wind was blowing a gale lol. I was thinking that lovely food wld be cold." [sic]

During their travels, the pair dropped in on a few local eateries north of the border, including a family-run seafood restaurant in Ayrshire and a Malaysian eatery in the southside of Glasgow.

The show update comes just days after Dave admitted that he’s ‘learning to live with cancer’ after announcing he had the disease by punching the air and cheering during a BBC cooking show.

The 65-year-old revealed in May last year that he was undergoing chemotherapy but he's been optimistic recently about his wellbeing and future.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the chef said: "[The treatment] is still ongoing but I'm kinda doing all right, it's like many people, it's something one learns to live with."
