Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers gives health update and the future of the BBC show.
Dave was diagnosed with cancer last year and announced it in May while on podcast The Hairy Bikers: Agony Uncles… A Right Pair of Aunts. He said at the time that he wanted to discuss it publicly because he didn’t want to “hide under a rock”.
In a recent podcast, the 65-year-old said his walking had been impacted due to his ongoing treatment and he feels he has had to learn to walk again, the Mirror reports. But despite the ongoing treatment, he added he remains positive about his outlook.

Speaking on the How To Be 60 podcast, he said: "I really have no symptoms of the cancer, it's the chemotherapy. It's neuropathy in your feet, so it's hard to stand. So I've had to learn to walk again properly."
Dave went on to say however that he will be back on set soon working on the BBC show as he says they will film around the chemotherapy. He added: "That's just the way it is really. One doesn't have an option at the minute. All I can say is it's not spreading and I'm holding my own ok, so I'm very grateful for that."
Appearing on the BBC Breakfast sofa earlier this year, he gave an update on his health and shared what it means for his future on Hairy Bikers. He said: "I have been having treatment for cancer. It is still ongoing but I am kind of doing alright and you know, it's like many people, it is something that one learns to live with."
