Hairy Biker Dave Myers reveals cancer diagnosis - but reassures fans: 'I'm going to be fine'

Hairy Biker Dave Myers has revealed he's been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Dave, one half of the much-loved TV duo told fans he "hasn't been too well lately" and discussed the news with his Geordie TV partner Si King on the pair's podcast. Cumbrian Dave, 64, has not revealed what kind of cancer he is suffering from.

Chatting the news over, Dave said: "I maybe a baldy biker for a while… it's simply something I have to live with." He continued: "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."
