Hairy Biker Dave Myers 'over the moon' to make TV return on Saturday Kitchen after chemotherapy

The Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers' return to TV following cancer treatment was greeted with cheers on BBC's Saturday Kitchen Live as he declared: "I'm over the moon to be back!"

Dave, one half of the much-loved duo, revealed that he had cancer back in May and was undergoing chemotherapy. On-screen partner Si King gave an update This Morning in October that Dave was "getting stronger every day"; and on Saturday morning, the pair made their first live appearance in quite some time, with both of them quite clearly delighted to be cooking together again.

And they marked their return with a Christmas treat, a coffee and hazelnut cake which Dave described as "so good for Christmas it's like the Angel Gabriel has wafted across your tonsils". When making the cake, he shared more with host Matt Tebbutt about his ongoing rehabilitation.
