We’ll also keep you updated on the events and projects which will live on.
He went on: “It’s really strange for us all not to have Dave around but for now, we will keep posting on the Hairy Bikers socials to keep in touch with all those people who have been so kind over many years and particularly in recent weeks.
“We’ll also keep you updated on the events and projects which will live on and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at some of the Summer festivals this year. Si x.”

Si previously addressed whether he’d ever do the Hairy Bikers TV shows without Dave. In 2016, Si told the Express: “I probably would [quit] I wouldn’t want to make shows that Dave and I make. That would be it. I wouldn’t have it in my heart and soul, we were the Hairy Bikers. He’s like my brother.”
