Dave Myers, best known for being one-half of the Hairy Bikers, has revealed he has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. The 64-year-old found fame as part of the cooking duo alongside friend and fellow chef Si King.
Speaking on the Hairy Bikers – Agony Uncles podcast, David spoke openly about his diagnosis for the first time, asking fans to 'respect his privacy' as he undergoes treatment.
He said: "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 OK but this year’s a bit of a write-off for us."
