BBC Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers shares update on cancer battle - and fans are overjoyed

Dave Myers, one half of the Hairy Bikers duo, has issued an update on his health amid his cancer battle - which has pleased many fans. Dave and his fellow BBC cook Si King joined This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Wednesday (April 26) in the ITV studio kitchen as they whipped up some tasty lamb koftas.

Dave looked well as he flaunted his signature beard and moustache, alongside a head of hair - which is starting to slowly grow back following his chemotherapy. Dave first announced he had been diagnosed with cancer in 2022 and was undergoing treatment, Birmingham Live reports.

At the start of their cooking segment on the ITV show, Philip asked Dave how he was. "I'm doing very well," he replied, before adding: "It's so nice to be back Phillip. Yeah, it's work in progress, but I've got my hair back and I'm feeling great."

Holly went on to compliment Dave's appearance, to which he replied back jokingly: "It's healthy eating you see that does it." Si then quipped back: "He's just as irritating, so it's great."

Si gave Dave a cheeky peck on the cheek as Phillip spoke about how it's not the same when Si cooks without his co-star Dave. Si then admitted that he also "doesn't like it", adding that it "doesn't feel natural".

Many fans watching the show from home headed onto social media to express their joy at seeing Dave back at Si's side, and looking well. @BakesByYves tweeted: "Awww #thehairybikers do love each other glad to see Dave looking well and hair growing back #tvchef #ThisMorning."

@Mostlystupid commented: "Glad to see Dave back - hope he's doing well #hairybikers #ThisMorning." @PMacE1969 wrote: "@HairyBikers Brilliant to see Dave on This Morning. He looks great!" @Ophelia_ButtsUK said: "Nice to see Dave Myers looking well after his cancer battle."
