Si King announces solo project after Dave Myers' death

Si King, the surviving half of the iconic Hairy Bikers, is preparing to return to television screens with a significant new solo venture. This comes just months after the tragic passing of his longtime friend and co-star Dave Myers in February 2024.

A New Chapter Begins

Channel 4 has confirmed it's in advanced discussions with King about a major new project that will see the beloved TV chef return to our screens. While details remain under wraps, insiders suggest the show will combine King's signature warmth and humour with his passion for culinary adventures.

Honouring Dave's Legacy

The new project marks King's first television work since Myers' death from cancer at age 66. The duo had worked together for nearly two decades, creating numerous successful series and cookbooks that made them household names across Britain.

A source close to the production revealed: "Si has been taking time to grieve, but he's ready to return to what he does best. The show will undoubtedly pay tribute to Dave in a way that honours their incredible partnership."

Fans Rally Behind Si

Since news of the potential project emerged, fans have flooded social media with messages of support:

  • "So pleased to hear Si is coming back - he's been through so much"
  • "Nobody could replace Dave, but I'll definitely watch whatever Si does next"
  • "This will be emotional viewing but exactly what we need"

Channel 4 executives are reportedly excited about the project, seeing it as both a ratings winner and a fitting tribute to one of British television's most beloved partnerships.
