Si King has confirmed that the Hairy Bikers are no more following the death of his co-star Dave Myers last year. The pair were one of Britain's best-loved double acts, known for their cookery programmes on the BBC.
Speaking to Radio Times, King said: "It's done. That's it. The Bikers were plural. There's no Hairy Bikers without my mate." He added: "Nobody's ever going to take his place. I don't want to look in the rear-view mirror of my motorcycle and see anyone else there."
King is now turning his attention to a new solo project: 'Britain's Favourite Railway Stations with Si King' on Channel 4. The show, his first major solo venture since Myers' death, will highlight the nation's railway network and the workers who maintain it.
Despite moving forward, King remains committed to honouring his late friend. "You have to move forward, but the only way you can do that is by cherishing the memories," he said. He also described the continued support from Hairy Bikers fans as "incredibly humbling."
Myers died at 66 in February 2024 after a battle with cancer. In a tribute at the time, King wrote: "My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can't follow. I will miss him every day."
