The Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers praises friend Si King for his support as he offers cancer update

Dave Myers has shared praise for his friend and Hairy Bikers co-star Si King over his support during his cancer treatment. Back in May, Dave 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.

The 64-year-old asked fans to 'respect his privacy' as he undergoes treatment. "But look, the prognosis is okay, I’m going to be fine," he added at the time. While he hasn't specified the type of cancer he has, he did say earlier this year he was undergoing chemotherapy.

Early last month, Dave said he was 'doing alright' but shared one thing he's missing during his gruelling treatment - his beard. "It's the beard I miss though. I was born with that beard," he admitted during the Confidential Corner segment of the podcast. 'Posh Tash', who is the podcast's 'voice of reason', then asked Dave if he missed fiddling with his facial hair, getting food stuck in it, or combing it.
