The Bikers bag a National Book Award!

​A HUGE low cal high five and a hearty congrats to Si and Dave as The Hairy Dieters wins the WHSmith Food & Drink Book of the Year at the 2012 Specsavers National Book Awards!

Following their phenomenal reign at the top of the UK’s best-selling Paperback Non-Fiction charts, Dave received the Bikers’ well-earned gong from Lorraine Kelly at the glittering London ceremony last night, as the pair fended off some almighty culinary competition from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Mary Berry, Lorraine Pascale, Gok Wan and The Great British Bake Off to scoop their award.

“We won the national book award love to Si in Australia,” Dave tweeted from the do, along with a celebratory picture posed with the book designer and editor.

With the star-studded ceremony over, readers will now be asked to vote for their favourite from each of the category winners to win the coveted Specsavers National Book of the Year Award, to be announced on December 26.
