The Hairy Bikers' Si King gives update on Dave Myers' cancer battle as he appears at Bolton Food and Drink Festival

Celebrity chef Si King gave an update about his Hairy Bikers co-star Dave Myers' cancer battle as he presented a cookery demonstration at Bolton Food and Drink Festival.

The 55-year-old appeared on stage alongside presenter Jenny Powell, after Dave had to pull out of the festival due to his diagnosis. Si thanked those in attendance for their support and reassured people that his close friend is 'in the trenches' but 'getting there'.

Addressing the crowd at the end of his demonstration, he said: "I just wanted to say, from Dave and I, thank you so so very much for all of the goodwill and support, all the messages really do not go unnoticed. He's doing canny but as you appreciate he's right in the trenches of it all at the minute but he's getting there, thank God."
