Milly Witcomb, a Staffordshire-based interior designer, has spoken publicly for the first time about her relationship with Si King, describing him as 'lovely' and confirming they have been an item 'for quite a while'. Si, 59, was devastated by the death of his best friend and Hairy Bikers co-star Dave Myers in February 2024, and struggled for a year to contemplate a return to work. Milly, 62, whose full name is Caroline Witcomb, came to light after Si referred to her only as a 'very special lady' in an interview.

The couple have already travelled to Tuscany together and regularly spend time in the North East, where Si is based.

Si's three sons and his ex-wife Jane Dodd — from whom he separated in 2016 after 27 years of marriage — are all said to be delighted by the news.

Si has been open about the grief that followed Dave's death, acknowledging guilt over filming without his longtime partner and admitting he once thought about 'riding into the sunset'.
