“I just miss having my beard, the feeling of it because your skin’s different and all peachy. I want my beard back — I’m alright with my hair!” Dave commented in a recent podcast.

He had previously warned fans that he would be “a balder biker for a while” but said that he didn’t “want to make a fuss about it”.

Fans were therefore over the moon to see him looking so well and full of life, despite his new look, in a new video posted on The Hairy Bikers Instagram.

In a change from previous videos, Dave was wearing no hat, but fully embracing his bald look.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you getting better, Dave!!!! You’re a great man!

The clip showed an energetic Dave singing to the camera as he unboxed an exciting delivery, revealing a new Hairy Bikers book “Brilliant Bakes”.

The video was captioned: “Such an exciting moment opening this. Another cook book for you lot to add to your collections.”

Dave announced in the video that his and Si’s new cookbook ‘Brilliant Bakes’ will be available for purchase on October 13.
