'Our Family Favourites' was released on Thursday, October 24, serving as a 'tribute' to Dave following his passing earlier this year.

He added: "This also means that we've now appeared on The Sunday Times bestsellers list over 140 times - honestly, Dave would be as proud as punch.

"But that's only across 25 titles, including 29 appearances at number one, so this is also the first title with 'hairy' in the title ever to chart in The Sunday Times top 10 across all categories.

"A big thank you from me, it's amazing, thank you."
