Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers delights fans as he shares 'big step forward' amid cancer battle

Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers has delighted fans as he shares a 'big step forward' amid his cancer battle. The chef revealed back in May that he was undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

Dave, who found fame as one half of cooking duo the Hairy Bikers alongside friend Simon 'Si' King, revealed the news of his cancer diagnosis on an episode of the pair's Agony Uncles podcast and said that he didn't want to 'hide under a rock', but will be away from work, asking fans to 'respect his privacy' as he undergoes treatment.

However, fans were thrilled when Dave made his first TV appearance in months back in December. He also appeared in a brand new series with Si on the BBC, titled Go Local, which followed the pair as they tested the local delicacies, restaurants and most innovative suppliers.
