Hairy Biker Dave Myers has died following a battle with cancer, it was announced today (Thursday, February 29).
Dave announced his diagnosis back in 2022, with best pal, Si King, announcing the news this morning.
The TV chef and presenter had always been open about his battle with cancer and previously spoke about the “enormous pressure” living with the disease put on his wife Lil.
Dave Myers and wife Liliana Orzac – who he met during filming in Romania – married in 2011.
Following chemo, the much-loved star has suffered hair loss, including his distinctive beard.
Back in October 2022, in an interview for BBC Radio Cumbria, Dave opened up about how undergoing treatment also affected those closest to him.
Dave Myers’ praise for Si King and wife Liliana after cancer diagnosis
The 66-year-old hailed the support of TV partner Si King, as well as his life partner, in the radio chat.
The telly fave noted he had both “good days and bad days” as he battled the condition. But he also praised Si, 55, for giving him “indispensable” help.
“He has been amazing, we are like brothers,” Dave said.
Dave went on to explain Si’s support was vital for both him and Lil.
He continued: “The very first week before all the treatment started, you have a week of going round hospitals and bits and pieces.
It is enormous pressure on Lil my partner.
“It is enormous pressure on Lil my partner. But Si was the one who drove us around for a week, hospital to hospital. [Heading to] London in and out, in and out.”
