Dave Myers on how cooking duo became friends before Hairy Bikers

Dave Myers, one half of TV cooking duo The Hairy Bikers, has died at the age of 66, two years after revealing he had been diagnosed with cancer.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast in November 2023, Dave explained that a curry and a poppadom ignited the start of his 30-year friendship with fellow Hairy Biker, Si King.

King said he “will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime”.
