Yahoo News Hairy Bikers star Si King confirms new solo TV role
Hairy Bikers star Si King has confirmed he has a new solo role on ITV.
The TV chef is best known for hosting the hit travel show with his co-star and best friend Dave Myers, who sadly passed away in February after a two-year battle with cancer.
During a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid asked King about his future ventures following Myers' death.

"Look, it must be so hard for you because you and Dave were a couple weren't you effectively? You're an item on television," she said.
"Best, best, best mates and the best of male friendship as well. It is hard I know to move on, but you are striking out on your own now and in fact, you have a new role don't you? In ITV day time."
King then confirmed he'll make his debut as a resident chef on This Morning in January, though mistakenly referred to it as Good Morning.
After a quick correction from Reid, he joked: "Did I call it Good Morning? Well, that's a good start isn't it?"
