Popular TV hosts The Hairy Bikers spotted filming in Leeds market

The Hairy Bikers have been entertaining Britain with their TV shows for over a decade and have sold in excess of 5.7 million copies of their books.

Lee Alex, a Leeds resident visiting the market, spotted the pair this afternoon.

He said a small crowd formed to watch the filming taking place at a market stall in Kirkgate.

They are regular faces on the BBC, with many Prime-Time TV successes tucked under their leathers.

Their recent series ROUTE 66 is available on iPlayer now with their new book One Pot Wonders being released on October 31.

Si and Dave met on the set of a TV drama in 1995 and have been cooking and riding together ever since.

They have now written over 20 cookbooks, including British Classics, Mediterranean Adventure, Mums Know Best, Bakeation, Meat Feasts and 12 Days of Christmas.

In 2012, the boys shed more than six stone between them on The Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight.
