Early-life:
Simon King was born in 1967 in Washington, Tyne and Wear. His passion for food was encouraged from an early age when his father would bring him back exotic ingredients from his trips with the Royal Navy.
Career:
He was working as a first assistant director and locations manager for film and TV when he met Dave Myers on the set of a Catherine Cookson adaptation. The pair struck up a friendship and ended up in front of the cameras. For BBC Two they have made endless Hairy Bikers series and spin-offs and become bona fide assets for the corporation. Together with Myers, he has penned several cookbooks as well. His recent TV work with Myers includes The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best, The Hairy Bikers' Cook Off, The Hairy Biker's Bakeation, and The Hairy Bikers: Restoration Road Trip
Quote:
On working with Dave Myers: 'I love him like he is my brother. The only difference is he's not my blood.'

In 2009, filming on a TV show was halted after King came off his bike when a car pulled out in front of him. He received treatment for brusing to his right leg and ribs.
