Hairy Bikers star Si announces new solo venture after their BBC series comes to an end

Hairy Bikers star Simon 'Si' King has announced a solo venture after their TV show finished.

Si and his co-star Dave Myers recently starred in their Hairy Bikers Go Local series, which aired on the BBC. However, after just eight episodes, they announced on January 16 that the series had come to an end.

They said: "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.

Mirror Online reports how Si has now revealed his next solo project away from his co-star Dave.

The chef posted on social media: "EXCITING NEWS. I’m heading to@pubintheparkLeamington Spa and Tunbridge Wells in July, then Chiswick in September. Find me at the Saturday sessions at these locations! See you there?

"Head to the Pub in the Park website to sign up for early pre-sale access on 3rd Feb!" He added the hashtags#PubInThePark#HairyBikers#Festival#SiKing."

One fan commented: "Ooh yes I’ll be over in july woohoo xxx". Another posted: "This has absolutely made my weekend!! Was really hoping you were going to be at Tunbridge Wells!!"

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.

Tom posted on Twitter last week: "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. "

Earlier this month, Dave gave fans an update about his battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with the disease last year at the age of 64 and continued to receive treatment. He told well-wishers how he is is "doing kinda all right".

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