Hairy Biker Si King has taken to Instagram to thanks fans who voted for him and his late co-star Dave Myers at this year's Fortnum & Mason Awards.
King and Myers were both nominated for the Food Personality of the Year award, a gong which King admitted earlier this year that his late pal was always "so proud" of.
Myers died in February following a two-year cancer battle, leaving fans, family and friends devastated.
Gestures in memory of Myers have taken place ever since, from their final BBC series Go West honouring the cook to thousands of bikers taking part in a ride-out in his memory.
Now, fans have continued to celebrate Myers' legacy by voting for him and King to bag the coveted award.
King acknowledged the heartfelt gesture in a post celebrating the award on Instagram, as he penned to Hairy Bikers' Instagram followers: "Can’t thank everyone enough for voting for us - we only went and won again!

"But this one really is very special [love heart emoji]. @fortnums. Love Si x," he signed off.
Inevitably, fans were quick to congratulate King and his late pal for being crowned personalities of the year - including some famous faces.
TV chef James Martin was one of the first to congratulate King, writing: "See you soon pal .. big love and congratulations."
And fellow chef and ITV This Morning regular Marcus Bean echoed: "Well deserved x." (sic)
Rick Stein was also among the winners on the night as he picked up a Special Award by organisers.
Earlier this year when the duo were unveiled among the nominees, King took to social media to express just why the award meant so much to Myers.
On Instagram back in March, King wrote: "Dave and I were so chuffed to be nominated once again for the Fortnum & Mason Food Personality of the Year Award for the 4th year running.
"Dave was so proud of this award, particularly because it’s voted for by our loyal followers and fans, the people who matter most to us.

"It’s really strange for us all not to have Dave around but for now, we will keep posting on the Hairy Bikers socials to keep in touch with all those people who have been so kind over many years and particularly in recent weeks.
"We’ll also keep you updated on the events and projects which will live on and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at some of the Summer festivals this year."
