Hairy Bikers star Si King shares news as fans left gutted by show update

Hairy Bikers star Simon 'Si' King has delighted fans thanks to an 'exciting' new announcement.

The BBC star and his co-star Dave Myers devastated fans earlier this month, as they shared the news their TV show has come to an end after just eight episodes.

But taking to social media following the sad news, Si delighted his followers as he revealed his next solo venture away from his co-star Dave.

The pair have recently starred in their Hairy Bikers Go Local series which aired on BBC, but told viewers on January 16: "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."

Fans rushed to the comments to express their disappointment that the show was wrapped up and to offer some critique, too.

Thankfully, Si has some news to cheer disappointed fans up.

Pub in the Park is the brainchild of celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, who aims each year for the festival to celebrate everything there is to love about the glorious British pub.

As he promoted the upcoming event on Twitter last week, Tom told his fans: "Don’t forget, you’ve got loads of amazing restaurants cooking up the most delicious food paired with some proper feel-good tunes too! Summertime here we come. "

Elsewhere in the world of the Hairy Bikers duo, Si's co-star Dave gave an update to fans earlier this month as he continues to receive treatment for cancer.

He told well-wishers how he is is "doing kinda all right" after being diagnosed with cancer last year at the age of 64.

"[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," Dave explained on BBC Breakfast.

He went on to tell reassure fans he was "going to be fine" but his diagnosis has meant he has had to take a break from routine filming.
