Chatting to his 385K followers, Si stated: “Listen, it’s just a massive thank you from me and all the Hairy Bikers team for all your support for Fast and Fresh.

I’ve just had the news that we’re number one.

“I’ve just had the news that we’re number one – but not just number one in Food and Drink, we’re number one in the bestsellers chart [too].”

The Hairy Bikers star continued: “Thanks for your continued support – honestly it means such a great deal and [is] particularly fitting at the moment… love to you all.”
