Hairy Bikers’ Dave Myers thrilled fans with his appearance
He held up The Hairy Bikers‘ baking book Brilliant Bakes, and said he’d had time to cook and eat.
As he held up a green cake tin he shared his present from Si.
“I got a surprise from my ‘brother from another mother'” said Dave.
By God my buddy can bake.
“A Christmas cake, for me. A three kilos Christmas cake, done to his mother’s recipe.”
Dave said Si and his partner had made the cake together.
Taking a bite out of a slice, Dave went on: “I don’t like marzipan, I don’t like icing.
“This is what I like – fruit, booze and the smell of Christmas.”
After finishing the bite he added: “And do you know what? By God my buddy can bake. So can his partner, mind, she’s clever too.
“Merry Christmas everybody, it starts today.”
One follower responded: “Merry Christmas to you and family, you look amazing so stay strong and the cake reminds me of my Nans Xmas cake, so moist and rich.”
I got a surprise from my ‘brother from another mother’.
A second added: “You look great Dave!”
And another wrote: “Wishing you a happy and healthy Christmas lots of love to you and your family.”
