Si King on reason for split from his ex-wife

Talking to The Telegraph, Si has spoken out about his relationship with Jane, revealing his hectic work schedule led to their split.

He shared that because he wasn’t there during the height of the Hairy Bikers success, he was unaware of “the day-to-day of everybody’s lives, and what the crack is”.

Si continued: “What then happens is that you become, as a person, very inconsistent emotionally because you don’t know where to put it.

Si says he ‘completely lost myself’

Talking about his ex-wife Si added: “And that’s very difficult for Jane, particularly, the mother of my children, and it’s the most destructive thing because nobody ever knows where they are, and there’s no sense of deep security there, which was the antithesis of what I wanted.”

Si then confessed: “I don’t mind admitting that I completely lost myself. But that was a very private thing for me and my family and my friends. And it wasn’t horrible. It was just well, he’s away from home and living in this mad world.”

Meanwhile back in 2016, he told Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “We lost each other.

“Jane was focused on the family and I was focused on work. The reality is the industry we work in is incredibly brutal, there are timelines and deadlines. You have to be on form. Some people can do it. I find it quite difficult.”
