According to this week's issue of the Bookseller, "The Hairy Bikers have toppled fellow celebrity chef Jamie Oliver from the summit of the official bestseller lists, returning to the top of the Official UK Top 50 for the first time since September."

"Sales of the pair's weight-loss tome, The Hairy Dieters (Weidenfeld), more than trebled week on week, to 36,981 copies—more than double the sales of the next bestselling book of the week, Oliver's Jamie's 15-minute Meals (Michael Joseph)."

"It is the second time in the past six months the hirsute duo have ended a bestselling powerhouse's chart-topping run. They famously ousted E L James from the top of the chart in September last year, ending the erotic novelist's 22-week stint at the summit."
