Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers shared that he’s ‘over the moon’ that he’s ‘still breathing’ after his cancer diagnosis.
Dave had publicly announced he was undergoing cancer treatment in May 2022 revealing that he would be a ‘baldy Biker’ for a while due to the side effects of chemotherapy.
The 65-year-old revealed on his podcast with Si at the time: ‘Anyway Kingy, I’ve got to come clean now, I haven’t been too well recently and basically, I’ve got to have some chemo, you know all this anyway.
‘So this year is going to be a bit quiet for me, I’m not going to be filming, some of the festivals I’m not going to be able to go to, some may be okay but this year’s a bit of a write off for us.
’I have had to speak up about this because I don’t want to hide under a rock, but I would love it if people respected my privacy and just let me get on with it and give Si and our team all the support they need, that would be great. But look, the prognosis is okay, I’m going to be fine.’
Dave thrilled viewers with his appearance on Saturday Kitchen today, where he seemed to be in good spirits and shared a sweet hug with his co-star.
Host Matt Tebutt said to Dave: ‘Very pleased to say that we’ve got the Hairy Bikers in the house,’ adding: ‘We’re very honoured, this is your first time out.’
Dave replied: ‘This is the first time out I’m over the moon, I’m still breathing,’ as the guests cheered, shortly after Dave and Si shared a sweet hug.
‘Got a little emotional seeing @HairyBikers on @SaturdayKitchen this morning! So great to see Dave back on screen with Si!’ one viewer wrote.
He also revealed how much the thousands of messages of well-wishes have meant to Dave and his family since he went public with his diagnosis.
Si revealed: ‘Everybody involved with the Bikers and certainly Dave and Lil his wife, and the kids – the amount of love that comes over social media is remarkable and it’s noticed and appreciated and we love it, so thank you.’
Saturday Kitchen airs at 10am on BBC One.
