The Bikers play matchmaker
The TV channel said: “The Hairy Bikers are back, this time with an important mission: to play matchmaker and bring together the best local restaurants with the most innovative local suppliers.”
One thing’s for sure, it will be great to see the lads back on our screens again.
For the past year, Dave had stepped back from the limelight as he dealt with a cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
But he joined old pal Si again when the pair appeared on a festive edition of Saturday Kitchen earlier in December.
The 65-year-old chef told Saturday Kitchen presenter Matt Tebutt: “It’s lovely to be back. It’s been a rough year. I can’t pretend otherwise.”
“There were some times where I thought I wouldn’t be here for Christmas.”
He was full of praise for the NHS staff who have looked after him and added: “They put me back together and got me walking again.”
The Hairy Bikers Go Local starts on BBC2 on Tuesday 3 January at 8pm.
